Confirmed Signing with Link: [WSH] Tom Wilson (6 years, 5.17M AAV)

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Solid deal. Glad to have him locked up long term, he was a monster all playoffs long.

Solid deal? Wilson was an RFA. If he was on the open market, you think he'd get ~6.5 to 7 million?
 
Overpaid by 1.5-1.75mil and long term for his style of player.

Beauty in the playoffs and a team warrior but like everyone else stating not a great contract.

- A leafs fan
 
For what he has done so far in his career, thats an absolutely awful contract... Atleast this is his prime years but wtf what an overpayment...

Giving big contracts to a players who overachieve during a long playoff run almost never work out.

Bad, bad contract.

The term doesn't bother me as much as the cap hit. He just turned 24 a few months back so this contract runs out when he's 30 so you'll get him through his prime. The cap hit is insane though for a role player. His career high is 35 points. He's never going to be a 50-60 point player.

I don’t know man the term is pretty shocking.......I don’t know what’s worse either. Both are bad

He would have easily gotten that or more in the open market. Fair deal

So you're saying it's a bad deal then. If Wilson would have got 5 million as a UFA like you're arguing, then the Caps overpaid him by paying an RFA a UFA rate.
 
And he was an RFA too, wasnt he? They had negotiating leverage on him. And he still earned a 6 year / $5.17M contract.

He was good in the playoffs, but he simply does not produce enough, especially in the regular season, to warrant that salary. How would he have produced in the playoffs if he didn't play with Kuznetsov or Ovechkin?
