NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

LOLLLLL

[Loki]

Tom Wilson 6 years $5.17M AAV

[thom54]

I saw the caps tweet it out - I had to quadruple check it wasn’t a fake account

[KapG]

Lol

[Da_Hawks]

Pay him lots now while he's still young and not broken.

[Shoalzie]

It's value relative to the Caps...he's slotted behind Oshie in terms of AAV but that's Zucker/J.T. Miller/Zibanejad/Drouin money for that age group. I think he can be a solid player but he's coming off 34 points...that's going to be a bad cap hit until he hits 50+ points.

[Loki]

until he hits 50+ points.

I don't think that's a foregone conclusion, he spent most of this year on the Ovi line and hit a career high of 35. He's already played almost 400 games in the NHL. I don't think he's going to suddenly get heaps better.

[hong57]

LOL fk.. now stone would get paid if he sees Wilson getting paid lilke this.. and zucker would void the contract and renegotiate for 9mil per

[The BBKL Insider]

Zucker and Wilson are two completely different players. No one cares or worries when Zucker is on the ice. However, Wilson is intimidating and also had the ability to score. I would argue that Wilson's skillset is more desirable than Zucker's.
A massive power forward with the abaility to break your jaw with a clean it and also pot 20goals. Very few players can offer that package. I would personally take Wilson.

[Sensfanjosh]

He's never scored 20 goals in a season though, the closest he's come is 14 in 78 gp this year. A lot of money to go out and intimidate.

[Loki]

Are his "clean hits" why he leads the league in boarding majors since entering it? and already has 3 suspensions?
He averages 7 goals a season btw, barely averages 20 points, not 20 goals

[The BBKL Insider]

Oh, he is hitting 20 goals. I should have said 20 goal upside.

If he's making 5mil, they are playing him on the top line. Wilson is a beast. Plays on the edge, keeps everyone on their toes.

[thom54]

Wilson’s agent also did the Bobby Ryan, Gunbradson, Perry deals... oh and clarkspn.


Good agent for the player lol

Care to make a wager? 1st rounder 2019 he doesn't score 20 goals in 2018-2019?

Interesting wager. Let me think about it! I will have to bet a 2nd because I dont own a 1st.
