When Blake Wheeler looks into the crystal ball, he sees a higher ceiling.
Although Wheeler took an important step in his development last season, the budding power forward knows that he can still take his game to another level, whenever the lockout comes to an end and he gets back on the ice as a member of the Winnipeg Jets.
“I don’t think that I’ve plateaued,” Wheeler said during an extensive sit-down interview with The Sun at St. Louis Park Rec Center on Tuesday afternoon. “I think I can score 30 goals, that’s a good goal for me. But you have to get 20 before you get 30. It’s the start of something really good. I feel the sky is the limit for me in Winnipeg. It’s just a really good fit for me. That’s why I’m really excited to get back at it, as soon as possible.”
