Player Discussion Tom Wilson - Part 1

[searle]

Sorry Randyholt basically stealing your Kuzya thread

What numbers do you guys see Willo putting up this year?

I think in a season or two he has the potential to put up JVR numbers, but as Trotz said he wanted to play Wilson with Kuz who is on the fourth line it could be another long season warming the bench! What do you guys think of his chances?


(mod note: title changed from over/under 40 points to generic player thread after season's end)

under or right at imo.

too hard to tell, no idea where he would fit in right now.

 

[BrooklynCapsFan]

Is this a joke?

There's a chance he gets there eventually, but I really don't think eventually is as a 20 year old coming off an ankle injury while third on the forward kid depth chart and seeing 0 PP time.

I'd be very happy with 20-25 points in a fullish NHL season.

 

[txpd]

under. i want to know he is going to get 70 games before i give him a chance at 40pts

 

[trick9]

Under.

I'd be very happy with ~30pts along with similar impact as he had last season. He doesn't need to be top-5 in FM's this season though.

Most young power-forwards don't even make it to the NHL until they are ~21-23.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Under. 10 goals, 15 assists.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

~15 points

 

[Acallabeth]

A powerforward kid on the 4th line coming from an injury. Easy question.

Hell, I'd think for a minute before betting Bura will get 40 pts!

 

[Jackstrom19]

Under: 8 goals, 17 helpers

 

[ChibiPooky]

Under for sure, even with a pretty top-notch fourth line that he'd be on.

If he's in Hershey, over.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Way under. Simply won't get the ice time or role to do so.

 

[Langway]

Even if they plopped him right on the top line instead of Fehr, under.

 

[EroCaps]

Lol

Overrated

 

[RandyHolt]

Always confer with Vegas before posting O/U otherwise you may lose your Willie jersey

I think 10+5 +100 PIMs would be an outstanding season

 

[Roughing]

Way, way under.

 

[aonb]

even if you add his 10 points from last season, there's no way he hit 40 this year

 

[PuckBuddy]

Season or career?

 

[FloridaCap]

I don't even think he'll play for us this year. I see him with Hershey.

 

[txpd]

Lol

Overrated

you want to put some meat on those bones? Overrated how?

 

[txpd]

I don't even think he'll play for us this year. I see him with Hershey.

That isn't going to happen

amazing how many here think he is nothing better than a plug(not including the quoted poster in that comment)

I think Tom's gonna be a great player, but I'd still rather see him in Hershey. If we didn't have Joel Ward, I'd be all about it, but I don't see anyway Tom gets time over Brouwer and I'd like to see Kuzya in a top 6 RW slot sooner rather then later.

Its just more a numbers game.

 

[txpd]

you rather seeing him in Hershey is fine. I am pointing out that the team is sending no signal that a full season minus injury call ups to fill in is their plan

 

[Hivemind]

Just like the team was sending signals that Erskine would be on LTIR, right?

 

[Raikkonen]

Under 20.

touché. I hope that made you feel better about yourself. Shall I put you down for Wilson getting a full season of AHL minus injury fill in?
