What's with the "wow". I know we had a dust up in the past, but there's no reason to be a smart alec about my honest question.
He's definitely not the worst. Facepalm penalties, as in dumb lazy penalties, definitely not. That's Kuzy right there, and sometimes Kempny. I think that kind of play is mostly behind him. He's still the toughest guy we have on the team, aside from Ovi, and he has a reputation of being the fighter/enforcer, so can't expect him to never do it anymore.
So basically you think that Anderson, if paired with Ovi, would be scoring, what? 60+ points or something? Because Wilson is on pace for 50-55 points back to back seasons now. Tom Wilson isn't just another dude. There's many factors as to why he wasn't producing early in his career, and you ought to know them following the Caps. He never went to Hershey to develop, he was treated like an enforcer, given low minutes, etc. He's finally hit his stride now, and having more minutes and better teammates certainly helps.
How many points would Anderson have if he played a full season with Ovi and Backstrom do you think?
