The point is Wilson has 13 even strength goals which would be third on Montreal's team. His numbers would be inflated if he were to get PP time to go along with his success at even strength and the PK.
How foolish you look. What crow is there to eat? Are you really trying to shame people because he has 34 points and 3 in his last nine? Wow are you guys desperate for people to give him undeserved praise.
Sorry you don’t get to tell me what to do
This was a stupid thread 4 months ago and it’s an even dumber grave dig. And I’m entirely within my right to point it out as such.
Sorry you don’t get to tell me what to do
Need a fork?
Laugh at me for what exactly? Laughing at you for trying to pump up a guy who can’t even break 40 points playing in Washington’s top-6? Interesting theory.And we can choose to laugh at or ignore you.
The fact that Caps fans are thrilled with their former 16th overall picks progression nearing the level of a guy like Riley Nash is a little odd. The fact that someone started a thread to brag about it is just sad.
Keep trying man. The only one who looks foolish here is you. But really. Keep it up! Maybe one day he will hit those totals but he hasn’t so nice hypothetical argument. Anything else champ?What were your slights before “can’t break 20pts, 30pts”?
Will you keep updating your slights when he hits 50 someday? How about goals? Have you predicted he would never score 10, 20? Let’s set some markers for posterity.
Will you eventually admit he’s a pretty decent player when he hits what....20/50, or have you already eliminated the idea that you could ever admit that about Wilson?
Lol...see you’re involuntarily amusing! Enjoy your day.
Lol he isn't even on Backstroms line. He is in a line with Ovi and Kuzy right now. You know that.
The truth is that the way Wilson is playing this year is on par with past 16th overall picks. For some reason most people on HF think that 16th overall picks are usually Tarasenkos or Barzals, but they are far more often players like Marcel Hossa or Joe Colborne. In fact, Wilson's point total this year is exactly the average point total for a 16th overall pick when you combine the past 25 picks (forwards only). So no he was not a home run at 16 overall but he is not a bust either.
Any player that makes a career for themselves in the NHL when being picked outside of the top 10 should not be considered a bust but at the same time, was there really a need to start a thread declaring that "Tom Wilson Has Arrived" when he's playing top 6 minutes and putting up 3rd line numbers? I mean, I can see if he were on pace for 20 goals and 50+ points or something but 34 points? Come on, that's just asking for it.
Many "gurus" on here were treating Wilson like he was a bust and nothing but a "goon". He plays a physical game and heavy PK minutes too.
Tom Wilson's 33pts would nearly place him in a tie for the 4th highest scoring F on the NJ Devils. That's shameful for someone but it isn't Tom Wilson. Desperate times indeed.
