Wheeler is 15th in the league among forwards for toi. Why have we decided he's too delicate to handle the workload Maurice is giving him?

I don't think that's the only metric to go by.  Wheeler isn't used to playing center.  He's been killing himself out there playing that position.  Time to get him back on the wing where he doesn't have to cover so much ice.  Let Scheif take that back over so that Wheeler has some gas in the tank for the playoffs.  Right now he just looks dead at the end of every game.

Meh. Wheeler just tries hard most games like most NHL players... Every player looks dead after a game.

sorry - should have said "during" too.  I disagree, Wheeler has definitely looked more beat since he took over center.  Which is why I'm glad Schief is back!

Interesting to look at that list of TOI leaders...  Jets have two players in the top 15 forwards for average ice time....  Nashville, Vegas, St Louis seem to be rolling four lines more than the Jets

 

When different commentators on different games comment specifically on Wheeler being gassed...  this is an issue.
