Get Rid of Elite Edges/Wheels in EASHL
I've owned every single EA NHL game. I still have my Sega and all of those original games going back to the NHLPA Hockey days. To say I'm a devoted fan, and sometimes an apologist to this franchise, ...

Not at all true, all you need is endurance within 2-3 points of your speed and you can go up and down the ice all day no problem. With Warrior on, I'm only ever gassed if my teammates keep us on the PK for a whole period.
Also, I don't know what kind of games you're playing, but 92 speed absolutely is not enough to keep up with forwards with 96 speed and wheels on top of it. Pure falsehood, unless you just stand at center ice and wait.
I see danger and i start hustling back and then turn around once i have a good gap with the skater... they can wheels all the want down the boards, doesn't make them any more of a threat to my goalie or the play. Its all about just being able to react quickly to a bad pass that is like to get picked off. The problem is people decide they want to attack at the boards when the person has wheels and so they get easily beat.
As the defender I just have to go straight back and guard the inside slot. I only skate 50 ft for example. The Wheels skater with the puck has to go down the boards 50 ft to get to the goal line but then another 10-20 to get in tight to where the net is. So that wheels skater in order to beat me has to go 15-20% further than me to try and beat me to the outside. What people do is they attack early needlessly trying to get a quick counter attack, thereby NOT respecting wheels. This allows the skater to just cut in and now they only have to go the same distance as you and in THAT scenario then yeah you are "beat by wheels"...
