Blake Wheeler may be the recipient of a six-year, $33.6-million contract from the Winnipeg Jets and he is the team's high-scoring player since its arrival in Canada, but there's no guarantee that he'll be part of the U.S. Olympic team that will play in Sochi, Russia in 2014.
This is all that David Poile of the U.S. management team says about Wheeler: "An emerging young player with all the attributes we're looking for. Size and speed and very conditioned. We'll be watching a lot of Blake early in the season to see if he can swing into the mix to be a candidate for Sochi."
