Any guy with rumours in his name is probably not reliable.
I could live with 6x4.5m but it's not ideal.
Ideally I just want to see a 2x3.5 deal. If Wilson proves he's worth it we'll pay him. Wilson's actual value to this team is too obscured to know if a long term high AAV deal is going to be worth it.
Hey Tom Wilson is like bro *****e cool! Screw all this stats stuff!
Agreed, Ridley get a Tom Wilson jersey for the collection?
I would absolutely love a 7x6 deal for Wilson. He does so much for the team and the cap is going to be way higher by the team the deal is up. Buys his prime years for a very reasonable price.
If he were to sign for cheaper that would be awesome, but buying those years won't come cheap and I imagine that's what he'd be asking for. Everything he does for the team on and off the ice makes him worth it to me even if it's expensive. This is based off the thought that the cap will continue to rise a lot by the time the contract is over.That’s too rich for me. While he was a big part of this year, it was one year. A 7x6 has too great a risk of turning into an anchor contract. Could Wilson continue to improve? Sure but he has a way to go to be worth 6 imo

Heh, if Wilson gets a 7x6 contract offer from the Caps, he and his agent need to lock themselves in a room for a week looking for the fine print under a microscope, specifically for terms like "first-born child", "immortal soul", etc.
Certainly. A replica home red. I’m looking for an upgrade.
(On another note, just bought a 1981 Milan Novy Jersey....#66....never knew the Caps had a 66)
Anyone have a guess on when we might finally hear something has been hashed out between the two sides?
i dont think either side is in a rush. right now if i had to guess, they stuck on years. wilson wants to cash in sooner
So how long could it realistically drag on if they're not in a hurry but both generally committed to getting a deal done? I'll admit this is probably the closest I've followed the offseason as a fan given that I usually exit the playoffs with such a bad taste in my mouth.

I'm thinking Wilson wants a short term deal. A long term deal could hurt him at the end of the deal if he continues to develope.Short term prove it contract (2x3.5) or a long term security contract (8x4.5).
Something like 6x5 would be the worst option imo.
I'm thinking long term, especially since I believe he's the prime candidate for wearing the C once the changing of the guard happens, and I think the org is grooming him for it.I'm thinking Wilson wants a short term deal.
