    By the time Washington is competitive again I don’t think he’ll have much left on the contract anyway. Someone over on !caps@lemmy.world said it best when they said he was Washington’s ‘Tank Commander’.

    They’re going to suck for a bit.

      I think that’s mostly true, but Caps fans would probably hope to be better before the contract is up in eight years. Take it from a Sabres fan, that long of a rebuild does a lot to your love of the game.

      My worry is that Wilson will be awful in the last few years when/if the Caps are ready to be good again at that point. Sure he can be the tank commander, but at some point he’ll just weigh them down with a contract that will be very hard to move.
