After a career high of 42 points and 20 goals during the '14-'15 campaign the bar was set for Colin Wilson. Then he netted five goals during the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Chicago Blackhawks and the bar was set even higher for the 26-year-old.
With a new four year, $15.75 million contract going into the season, was Wilson finally the elite player that was promised in the 2008 draft? At the time the answer may have been yes. A year later, to put it bluntly, the answer is no and he probably never will be.
