Capitals' Tom Wilson: Inks seven-year contract extension
Wilson signed a seven-year, $45.5 million contract extension with Washington on Friday.
Wilson has one season remaining on a six-year, $31.02 million contract he signed in July of 2018. The combative winger played in only 33 games last season, missing the first 42 games after offseason knee surgery. Wilson ended the season with 13 goals and 22 points. He ended the season on a high note with a four-game goal scoring streak. If he's able to stay relatively healthy, look for Wilson to contribute 20-plus goals, 40-plus points, at least 90 PIM and 200-plus hits in 2023-24.
