Yep, Roy pretty much said as much in what ended up being Wilson's final season as a contracted NHL player. It's too bad, he did indeed show quite a bit of promise.

The only reason WPG did that is because the dumb way arb works. Pretty much every time the player comes in high and the team comes in low and they settle in the middle, so this time WPG came in HELLA low in order to drag down the midpoint.
Its just tough to know if he got injured a bunch because he always struggled with conditioning, which would make sense or he simply struggled with conditioning from being injured all the time.
Thankfully for Avs fans Zads in the ultimate god tier realization of what the highest hopes for Wilson would be.

It’s sucks he only has 5 games of experience
I bet he’s gonna be super rough for a good while just like Rants and Jost were but more so . Hope we have some patience to see where he fits or at all

Wilson was a Top Boy and it's a tremendous loss to us that he didn't last.

Not sure which part of that is up for question tbh
- Wilson hit everything in sight
- He fought like a champ
- He has surprisingly good points totals when you look at him
- If he was healthy he would comfortably still be a top 4 defenseman
- This would have been good, particularly during the 13/14 season where as noted we had the sort of clown car on the back end not seen since 08/09, perhaps best summed up by the fact Matt Hunwick played in the AHL.

I'm gonna guess.. a good fella who can play top 4 = top boy. Those hits do make me miss Wilson, thankfully we have Z and maybe Meloche can dish out some big ones.
Not that I'd do it, at all.
But would EJ get us that 2C or a wing that can drive a line?
I know he's probably more valuable to us than to others and his injury history/age would turn off HF posters but maybe not GMs in the real world.

I’m thinking you let your Britishness show a little too much for people to understand what you were saying.

Urban Dictionary: top boy
So it seems
That reminds me, when are we getting a standing section in the Can? Need to get some ultras in to let off flares and throw the seats at opposing fans, create a bit of atmosphere.
Not only was the British a bunch of non-sense jibberish, the statement was as well. Ryan Wilson wasn't very good and is the most overrated player by our fanbase.

Wilson never had the puck moving skills or IQ to be more then a bottom pair guy in the NHL on a team with more than 4 NHL quality defensemen.
I would like to throw in the names of JS Giguere and PA Parenteau if this happens

There are plenty of scraps in the stands whenever the Wild or Blues come to town, or at least there are when I'm there. Not that I'm fighting - I just seeing opposing fans getting kicked out for getting physical with Avs fans relatively frequently.
