Description
A lot of people just don't understand how the NHL works do they? Let me say it loud and clear: WHEN YOU WIN A CUP YOU WILL BE OVERPAID!!!!!
Is Wilson being paid too much? - Yes

My personal opinion is that he is getting overpaid, I thought he'd make somewhere in the 4 mil. range, nevertheless he is signed.

You also have to consider cap space leaving after next season, does anyone actually believe that Connolly will be with the Caps in 2019-2020? Orpik will also be gone. Wether you like it or wilson plays a key role on this team both on his actual spot in the line up and on the PK. I'd rather have Tom Wilson killing penalties than Backstrom or Oshie.



TLDR: Wilson was going to be overpaid anyway, and there was no possible way he was going to make 2 mil. He does more for the team than you may realize.

When you win a Cup, STARS get overpaid. Not the Tom Wilsons of the world.

Edit: Look at next season. Unless the cap goes up, you have 11.8 million to sign 10 players. Burakovsky and Vrana will eat up at least half of that. They're screwed.

I'm not justifying it by saying 2.5 is coming off. I am saying cap space will become available. Also the cap keeps rising. I just don't think this contract is the end of the world for an important and good TOP 6 player.

top 6 is a stretch. he skated with ovi and backstrom and recorded 35 points i think it was.
