Per both our GAR and xGAR model, Wheeler has been the 2nd worst player in the league this season.

Does that mean he’s the 2nd worst player in the NHL right now? No. It just means he’s not having a good season so far. Actually, he’s been terrible. https://twitter.com/wiebesworld/status/1357412960138788865
I think there’s maybe a disconnect between what the public uses analytics for and what an NHL coach uses analytics for. Like I don’t think Maurice would be that interested in how Wheeler has played so far this season. He’s probably interested in how he can play his best next game
That’s a very different question than what a lot of public analysts are trying to answer. Or what readers are interested in reading about. Coaches probably don’t really care about “early season awards front runners” articles, for instance... or “who’s had the best/worst start?”
