Offseason starts

That's a good contract for Willy, on par with Oshies.
I still think they overpaid for Dylan. And should've let him walk if he didn't sign at 6.5-7

And replace him with what? They didnt really over pay for Carlson. That's were the market is today. If we paid him what the Kings gave Doughty then yeah we overpaid him.

For 6 years you have to overpay a little. We have done this with a few quality players now, upping the salary a bit to make sure we get the term we want on some of these guys. I'm overall happy with the contract, although I do think Wilson has to (and likely will) show some improvements on the stat sheet this upcoming season and beyond.

For all we know last season might be a career year for Wilson. I sure hope not. Definitely more than I thought he would get.
zerofox:
It is a bit of an overpay but not the worst thing in the world. Hopefully Wilson will live up to that contract. He's definitely shown he can add value to the top line and PK, and not just be a 4th line goon. Hopefully now that he's getting the big bucks he'll be more careful with his fighting/hitting. Can't afford a top line guy to spend too much time in the box or suspended.

while a strong if not unbeatable case for Wilsons contract in dollar value and years for overall player, leadership, example, exceeds the other resigning contracts GMBetaMale has made, a better GM, namely Holland, GMGM, The Captain, Lamerellio, Hextall, or Nill, would have near certainty got a better deal for The Caps.
This is one of the reason I call him GMBetaMale. Each of his resiging deals, and somd trades, have had strong cases for overpaying for to many years, and too many resources. “The Market”, “To Days Game”, has minimal effects on great GMs, and isn’t a significant excuse for overpaying in any business.
Clearly, he is being pushed around by Monumental, and the agents.
As this shows the precedent for future signings has been set for his competition. We should expect no great, if not reasonable, contracts for any “name” players while he’s here. . . and a certain “Salaru Cap Hell” on the horizon.
