[780il]

Wtf. Just wtf.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

HA

 

[Dirk316]

He would have easily gotten that or more in the open market. Fair deal

 

[NYI365]

Holy hell

 

[StephenPeat]

That's gonna be a big chunk of money to miss when he's suspended

There’s no Salary Cap in the Post-Season.

 

[God King Fudge]

Wow

 

[Falco Lombardi]

He got HOW much?!

Easily.

Wilson's all around game drastically improved over the last two seasons and he was the perfect compliment to 8 and 92. There are guys around the same number that I easily take him over.

“Or more.” Lol. No, he wouldn’t have.

 

[Juicy Pop]

We've seen it before with guys who were 6 years older than Tom and had nowhere near the skating or defensive ability that he has.

I was thinking more along the lines of a Beleskey

 

[Sherwood71]

 

[Liminality]

Holy cow

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

That is a god awful deal.

 

[K Fleur]

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

holy shit. awful

 

[PensandCaps]

Yikes, and I like Wilson.

 

[Carlzner]

I was thinking more along the lines of a Beleskey

Beleskey can't skate or defend like Tom can.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Good lord

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

What the hell is this?

 

[Cor]

Tom Wilson averages 22 points per season.

Is there any other player with similar production that makes 5M+ around the league ?

 

[Menzinger]

Yet another example of a playoff performance disproportionately impacting a contract

 

[Man Bear Pig]

The term is even worse than the cap hit.

The term doesn't bother me as much as the cap hit. He just turned 24 a few months back so this contract runs out when he's 30 so you'll get him through his prime. The cap hit is insane though for a role player. His career high is 35 points. He's never going to be a 50-60 point player.
