Tom Wilson is one of those players that’s hated by fans of other teams but they would love to have them on their team in a heartbeat. The Philadelphia Flyers sure wish they had him.

Wilson will be hurt this upcoming season but should be back around the holidays. He makes a big impact when he’s on the ice and his presence is in full view. Starting out an an enforcer, Wilson cleaned up his game and is now a gifted goal scorer. That’s not all he’s gifted with.

Wilson was key in helping the Caps win the Stanley Cup in 2018. He was selected by the Caps as the 16th overall pick in the first round in the 2012 NHL Draft.

Last season Wilson had a career high 24 goals and 28 assists for 52 points. I doubt he will score 30 goals this season since he starts the year injured but if he did that would be amazing. He can definitely do it if he played a full 82 games.

Wilson has skated in 647 career games with the Caps over nine years. He has 115 goals and 158 assists for 273 points. During the Cup run in 2018 he had five goals and 10 assists for 15 points. He could be ranked higher if we do this again in five years.
