Unfortunately, the loss eliminates the Jets from playoff contention. On the bright side, Wheeler was on pace to set new career highs in goals and points had the season played out as a full 82 game schedule, which is something to keep in mind for your 2013-14 fantasy draft.","date":"Thu Apr 25"},"fullName":"Blake Wheeler","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Wheeler showed he truly can turn his long reach and size into puck possession and distribution by knotting 47 assists and 64 points in 2011-12. He also topped 200 shots and led the team's forwards in power-play production. Wheeler went through some prolonged slumps during the season as well, so there is room for improvement if he can add some consistency to his game. Last season Wheeler had most of his success on a line with fellow big winger Andrew Ladd and centerman Bryan Little. That won't necessarily be the case this season and there is some risk that Wheeler won't play on what becomes the Winnipeg Jets' top line. Don't look for Wheeler to take a step back this season, no matter who his linemates are.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Tue Sep 11"},"playerRater30DAY":9.2,"playerRater15DAY":11.6,"positionRank":18}
