Wilson is probably a guy safe from any trades. He's exactly what this team should be trying to keep. He's 27 and under contract for another 3 years. Top 6 forward on the team, one of the top power forwards in the league. And before any obnoxious Wilson haters come who don't know a thing about him from watching him nightly, he's a leader on the team. Washington needs to move on from guys like Oshie (even though I love him), possibly Carlson, definitely Kuznetsov. There are depth players they should move on so we can play young guys like McMichael, Protas, Lapierre and the few forward prospects we have. Dillon is a waste of space, Chara is not coming back; should have never traded Siegenthaler. We have Alexeyev and Fehervary on the LHD who need to be playing ASAP. So say we re-sign Ovechkin to a 4 year deal, and he retires after that. Who takes that mantle of captain, who provides leadership? That's exactly where Wilson comes in if we re-sign him. He SHOULD be a guy to keep. I have no idea what BMac will do because we have a really tough offseason ahead of us
