He definitely had a big impact on the playoff games. He's such a unique player these days I don't necessarily think the overall term and AAV are terribly bad. Teams would go hard after his traits if he had been UFA. But I'm a little surprised that he got the additional sweet bonus structure on top of it all.
AdorableYep.....Caps fans still happy with the slight overpay today. It’s good to be the King.
Understatement of the year. The dude is a smoke show.Adorable
Would you rather carry Lucic's contract or Wilson's (if you HAD to)?
Who doesn’t take the 24 yr old developing power forward over Lucic? Come on....
I don't see how this is as bad as everyone's making it out to be?
Overpaid a bit, sure, but Wilson is a pretty solid player.
I don't think he's got much PP time ever, maybe he'll get some time in front of the net & tuck a few

Wow Trotz must be a giant idiot then for putting him on the first line after only scoring a grand total of 35 goals in 5 seasons.Probably because he's scored a grand total of 35 goals in 5 seasons in the league? I'm no coach, but I would probably put guys who can score on the PP.
But didn't play him on the PP, which is what we were discussing. Thanks for chiming in, though.Wow Trotz must be a giant idiot then for putting him on the first line after only scoring a grand total of 35 goals in 5 seasons.
Bro. Do you even know who you're talking about? You're talking about Tom Wilson. The guy that HITS! He also scored 35 points while riding shotgun with Backstrom, Kuznetsov and Ovechkin! He hits other teams players too. He also was like the 6th or 7th most important guy on his team in the playoffs!Why would a career sub 30 point player get PP time
Except in this case it's a younger player ostensibly on the ascending side of his career trajectory, whereas those 3 were not.Ofcourse they would, GMs are dumb AF. That is why the likes of Lucic, Backes, Ladd etc all got big deals in 2015. But just because GMs make dumb, dumb moves doesn't justify the contract
