the leafs would never consider that trade with washington

You want Wilson? Knies + 1st is what starts the conversation

MIchael Bunting has as many 50+ point seasons as Wilson does (and actually hit 60 points that year) and one less 20 goal season in 7 less seasons. this board would burn itself down if a leafs fan asked for half of that for him
Wilson remains the most over rated player this place has seen that isnt a Hab

That’s a truly stupendous overpay for one year of Wilson, wow 🤯

I just reported this armchair GM for how idiotic that Wilson trade was.

Relax no need to do that. This is the reason why people who didn't do anything wrong get banned because people abuse the report button

has the wilson trade been changed since? cause now it's pretty fair. He's a rare kind of player left the price won't be cheap. Although it only makes sense if this comes with extension

also accept

why do people think big guys who hit and cant score a lot or play defence very well are rare/?

if toronto wanted someone who can hit and fight, they could sign Lucic to a 950 000 1 year deal

he's been at a ~50+ point pace in each of his past 5 seasons including this one. You don't see that many points/consistency out of guys like Reaves, Foligno, Deslauries, etc. all the other tough guys in the league. He's a force on the ice or someone to fear like the rest I mentioned, but he can also score at a reasonable level. Not just a brute out there. People just hate Wilson because of his dirty history, but ignore how much he's improved offensively.

scoring like a mid to low level 2nd liner is not impressive. it does not make him a force of anything. People act like he's a unicorn like eric lindros and he's not even milan lucic

Lindros had a completely different playstyle considering he's an all time great. Wilson does not have that offensive game (although he's the one punishing having your head down, not getting punished), but if you compare scoring rates and considering linemates he pretty much is Old Lucic, just faster and less shot power. When he plays on a line with Ovechkin he compliments him well, once again he's not just a brute, he has an offensive game
