being that much of a physical presence, and still get you 20+ goals 40-50 pts, tom wilson has got skill, that's what seperates him from like a ryan reeves type player. And he's still like 25-26, he can get better and maybe end up being a 30 goal guy in right circumstances, that 5 million per year is looking not too bad now. Id have wilson on my team anyday of the week regardless of his contract, its worth it for the rare type of power forward he is.

Absolutely. He’s one of the few enforcers in the league who’s actually very effective offensively, and as you said, he’s on track to becoming a 30 goal scorer. Meatheads like Ryan Reaves or Ross Johnston suck at actually playing hockey and are on the ice purely to lay dirty hits and drop the gloves

If he keeps up this pace for a few more years he will be lauded as one of the greatest players in the game. Plus his team mates love him, including one Mr Alexander Ovechkin.

He does a lot of good things out on the ice but for those who don't watch him every game you only see the blemishes on his game which is unfortunate. He's a fun player to watch and can be disciplined when he wants to be and his PIMs this season are proof of that. I have watched him since he entered the league and i'm happy to see that he has substantially cleaned up his game from the early days as a young NHLer.

One more thing here on Wilson. After his Pre Season hit on Sundqvist and suspension many were making ridiculous comments about him being kicked out the league because of "all the players' careers that have ended because of his dirty play." I responded with: "If you haven't seen him play live you should before suggesting something so asinine! We all love the physical play and energy he brings to the game. What the league needs is an adjusted Wilson because he is a multi-talented beast who can play in all situations including the late 3rd period lead protection he provides. This league would be much better off with an adjusted Wilson than without Wilson at all." Now he's cleaned it up considerably and he's beating the Wilson hate club on the scoreboard rather than physical punishment. They asked for it!

That is why every time there is a potential late hit, people talks about how it is interference or not because NHL never gives full definition of the thing which they could clearly do better than this. I just heard from everywhere talking about late hit ranging from 0.5 sec to 1.5 sec. I don't know what is the definition. I just put a number there so that it is a visible measurement of how a hit can be a late hit. And judging from what you have said about the "legal hit", you clearly have no idea what interference is.

I think it's difficult to argue he's not the most effective hitter in the league.
