Value of: Colin Wilson

[Toby Flenderson]

What kind of contract is he gonna get this summer?

Also to Avs fans, what are the chances he re-signs as opposed to testing FA?

Pitt still has a hole on LW, unless they move Rust or Kahun over but I would much rather sign Wilson as I’ve always thought he was a great player.

Acquiring Burakovsky and the rumoured interest in Donskoi (as per Lebrun & Dater) suggests that Wilson won't be resigned by the Avs.

That said, I think most Avs fans would be happy to see him return, albeit at a much lower cap hit than his previous $4m/year deal.

Good player. Love to see him back

I would love to have Captain Average back on the Aves. I think he is a solid 3rd liner who can jump into the top 6 when there are injuries. Also he seems like a great guy in the locker room.

I think Sakic will let him test the market, but if Wilson doesn't find something he really likes out there it wouldn't surprise me a bit if Sakic brings him back for 1-2 years for under $3m

His playoff performance really showed why he is a valuable player, much like Calvert (or better yet, Calvert's absence)

 

[Toby Flenderson]

All of the reasons why Avs fans are saying they want him back are why I’m hoping Pitt sends him a contract. Would definitely make us a better playoff team

Hopefully nothing more than 3 or 3.5 for just 2-3 years though

Wilson is a solid player who will be a useful depth guy for a team. Not sure whether or not the Avs bring him back as the team seems to be making a lot of changes.

Looked good after he finally got healthy and was a lot better on the PP than other forwards they used (Kerfoot, Jost, Brassard). Had a good playoffs ,including a clutch Game 7 game-tying goal. Would love to have him back given the lack of depth the Avs currently have.

Too soon.

If he is willing to take a pay cut on 2 year (max) deal I'd be happy to see him back in Colorado in a bottom 6 role. He does a lot of good things in the right role. That said, I think the Avs are looking to stay on the young side and I suspect he'll sign elsewhere. I hope he gets a contract with a team and doesn't have to go the PTO route because he is better than that.

I wouldn't mind seeing him and his alter ego "Playoff Willy" in Preds again.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Solid player on the 3rd line. But i think the Avs will be using the capspace on another Core piece.

 

[Charles Calvert]

Can he play RW? I feel like Washington may have interest if he can.

 

[SotasicA]

Every team could use a player like him, but he'll get overpaid I'm afraid.

He's a good middle six guy if you can get him for around 2m-2.5m.
