Thread: Washington Capitals signed Tom Wilson (6 Years / $5,166,667 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sleeping0ut1992</b></div><div>Wilson looked really good on the first line last season and especially good during the Cup run, if he's able to play the same way he had been the last few months than this deal is maybe a slight overpay, but if he can't replicate that success than this deal could turn out to be really bad. But irregardless Caps are Cup champs so of course they're gonna overpay their core like every other team does (See: Toews, Seabrook, Brown, Hornqvist, etc...)</div></div>

You can't put Wilson in the same conversation of those guys. Even Hornqvist. One thing is overpay for a talented players or your leader and captain, like Brown. Other is overpay for a goon who had one good season in his career. Even if this season helped to lead his team to the cup.

Besides, look at the term. It's even worse. If Washington wanted to overpay him, they should offer 2 or 3 years at most. 6 years with that salary is the greatest joke of the season.
