[Silber] Ovechkin says Tom Wilson is likely the next captain & he’s going to Dubai

First: That record might as well be broken right now. He'll ride that camel and score 50 next season. Gretzky he's coming for you.

Second: Wilson as of right now, makes total sense. Carlson would be around 37 and Wilson's contract extension would've already started.

  2. Yeah as soon as Wilson signed that extension (and the Caps offered it) I assumed it was setting Wilson up to be the Captain during the post-Ovchkin multiyear rebuild.

    By the time the Caps are ready to seriously compete again Wilson is towards the end of that deal and ready to hand the torch off to the next generation, perhaps a guy like Leonard.

  3. Yes give the biggest meathead in the league the C that’s how we’ll get better!

  7. I love having Tom Wilson on our team but that contract is very bad, paying a premium for his prior years, not what’s to come. I hope it doesn’t get me to eventually resent him

  8. I’m a big fan of Wilson and think this would be a good move, but he’s gotta be smarter and pick his battles if he’s going to be captain. Too many dumb penalties/decisions at crucial times.
