He's big, not very good at hockey, and not that good of a fighter. Nice guy, apparently.
The twitter fans are lapping it up, so successful in that regard.Sounds like a good front office hire lol...
Thinking back on the season, they talked about how the AHL squad was one of the youngest AHL teams in the league quite a bit. And obviously, John McCarthy the player had to retire as well so they lost their veteran mentor in the room as well. It really makes me think that they want some teachers and mentors in the locker room for the AHL kids.My first thought- man, I used to be so much more in touch with bottom 6 forwards around the league. New job has drastically reduced my knowledge of league depth.
Second thought- okay, never would have known this guy.
Whatever, we need AHL depth too. Too bad Wilson isn't focused on the holes on the NHL roster. That said, I'd buy continued patience is a virtue- quality NHL players are already desperate, and we could grab several. However, with the 'they need to earn help' I'm not convinced Wilson isn't done.
In other News from Hockey Central that there is grumbling from Front Offices around the League about a shortage of 15th-16th emergency call up forwards..... Details to follow.

Yeah he also hit Nolan Patrick in the back pretty hard.Also apparently "nice guy off the ice" does not include the tunnel to the dressing room: Kurtis Gabriel: One-punched into Wild lore

The cuda kinda suck, so there’s not a lot of harm in having this guy on the fourth line

The more I see about this guy the more I think most of what he has to offer is his rainbow flag in his twitter bio. Not a fan of bringing dirty guys on the team no matter what kind of stuff they preach
More confirmation that the Sharks liked him in 2013.
