You know Wilson in the offseason was coming off a major injury that required surgery?!These guys are Professional Hockey Players, but you just don't know how long full recovery really takes(that includes getting back into an grueling 82 game regular season after going through a challenging length of time with rehab).
Tweeby, you really are hind sighted by basing your analysis of Wilson on his statistics. This 22 game stretch does not reflect his whole career to this point. He came into the NHL as a 4th line checker/fighter who played too much over the edge, but with good development he became a power forward who has good speed for a big guy and plays in all situations, while still being a productive player offensively. Wilson also was an integral part the of team winning the Cup and he has good leadership qualities.
You have a board history of showing your dislike for Wilson and I'm not sure why. If you want to get on a Caps players case because of his somewhat lengthy contract, then Kuzy is your guy to dislike! I would by far give Tom Wilson types their contract(what he received currently) than deal with paying a lot of money to a player like Kuzy, who doesn't want to commit to being engaged in team concept and game!
