Tom Wilson is a critical piece of the Washington Capitals' present and future success. As one of the team's alternate captains and a veteran at just 30 years old, Wilson provides invaluable leadership on and off the ice. His rare blend of physicality, offensive production, and intangibles make him a keystone player. This past season, despite injuries and lineup shuffles, Wilson still produced at a high level with 18 goals and 35 points in 74 games while making his second All-Star appearance. With Alex Ovechkin entering the twilight of his illustrious career in Washington, Wilson's role as a leader will only expand. His seven-year contract extension begins next season, perfectly aligning with the need for Wilson to step up as the face of the next era of Capitals hockey. Nicklas Backstrom's uncertain playing future also opens the door for Wilson's voice to grow louder. Wilson has earned high praise from teammates for his work ethic, accountability, and team-first mentality. The Capitals will lean heavily on these traits as Wilson guides and mentors the organization's young core. His experience overcoming adversity this past season, including losing Backstrom and having to adapt to Evgeny Kuznetsov's departure, has only strengthened Wilson's leadership abilities. He is ready and eager to embrace being the heart, soul, and identity of the Capitals. With his rare power forward playing style and growing intangibles, Tom Wilson is clearly indispensable to everything Washington is building towards now and into the future.
