<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>If he's fast enough to create havoc on the forecheck than he's not terrible. But if you put faster, more skilled guys there then it creates a big matchup advantage, TO can run 4 lines of offensive power and Martin takes away from that so that's why he couldn't play for them any more. The same will happen for Wilson sooner rather than later I think. You can't have a 4th liner making 5+, even a 3rd line winger at 5+ is a pretty bad situation.</div></div>

Yeah, I understand Wilson's benefit in certain situations and he helps open up some ice for Kuznetsov and Ovechkin. However, I agree - at his core he's a bottom 6 guy. I was probably in the minority of Caps, fans but I loathed the contract they gave him. I was honestly thinking they'd give him 4 mill which is still probably too much. Too late now, lol.
