Ugh, missed the "I don't want that POS on my team at any price". Would have voted that.

He’s like a million overpaid.

He was probably worth it when he signed. Then had a big injury and was closer to a 4-5 million player the next 1 and a half season after that. Takes time to get back from those, but he looks like hes back at eh level he was expected to be at so far this year. Early season still so lets see if he continues playing this level of hockey. Of course he wont keep up the point pace, but Im talking about the overall effort in his game.

You want this guy on your team in his prime in a cup window. Now? not so much

Wilson has been a bit up and down as a player. Top line Tom from 2018-2022 was worth $7M. Every team in the NHL wanted a player like that - physical, intimidating, disrupting, and productive. The combination of skill and pest is a pain to deal with.

Disengaged Tom from 2023 is worth $4M.

He's got some legit hockey skills, which is hilarious because he's so hate-able and it drives people to say silly things when really they'd love to have a player like that.

A year ago many (but not all) caps fans might have agreed but he looks like his peak self right now.
