Thread: Caps fans what will the cost of Tom Wilson be
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brady_t12</b></div><div>Before all the caps haters get in here, I’ll give you the straightforward and honest answer.

Regardless of the hate anyone has for wilson, there is 0 denying he is an effective hockey player that fills a very valuable role on a contender: a high-end checking forward with elite offensive capabilities. He’s good for 50+ points in the regular season and chips in in the playoffs. He is incredibly valuable. Add in his contract that he’s on, and that’s a tough piece to pry away.

If I’m GMBM and I’m trading wilson to shake up this roster, I’m asking for one of the following packages:

High end prospect (Forward or RHD)
Young forward with decent upside
Mid first round pick

Or

Young high upside NHL ready defenseman (preferably RHD)
Second round pick</div></div>

I would do Amirov and a first.

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

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mondo</b></div><div>couple things

1) maybe wait a couple of seconds before hitting "submit" because every single post you make, you add something else after you post it
2) capitals were supposed to be contenders this season so a first round exit definitely matters to them. don't think caps fans are satisfied with going out in the first round every year since the cup win.</div></div>

Honestly asking …. Who thought the Capitals were contenders this year? Before the season started I’m positive 60% of hockey fans had them missing the playoffs. I personally had them barely making the playoffs. I also had them losing in 6 to the Bruins. There’s not 1 single person that thought they were a cup contending team.
