Quoting: linehan10
top 6 is a stretch. he skated with ovi and backstrom and recorded 35 points i think it was.
As usual, absolutely no one takes those points into context:
1) 32 of those 35 points were at 5v5, that ranks 96th among all forwards, ahead of guys like Derek Stepan, Ryan Johansen, James van Riemsdyk, Logan Couture, Tyler Johnson, and many more considered top six.
2) He didn't get into top 6 until 11/20/17, from that point through the playoffs he scored 17G and 27A in 82 games, that's 44 5v5 points, which is 27th among all forwards, better than players like Phil Kessel, Vladimir Tarasneko, Jonathan Huberdeau, Jakub Voracek, John Tavares, Matt Duchene, Jason Zucker, and so many more.
3) If Wilson gets top 6 time and PP time next season he'll hit 50 points. Going to be funny when it happens and everyone eats their words.
