Wilson (hamstring) was placed on waivers Monday in order to reassign him to the minors.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson dealt with a hamstring injury throughout the preseason, so it shouldn't be a surprise to see him dropped down to the minors. Once the winger can prove he is fully fit, he figures to be in contention for a spot in the lineup and could earn a call-up sooner rather than later.

Wilson (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined for most of training camp, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even fully fit, Wilson was going to be hard pressed to break into the Leafs' lineup for Opening Night against the Senators on Oct. 2. There is an outside chance he could still end up on the 23-man roster, but fellow new additions Pontus Aberg, Ilya Mikheyev and Kalle Kossila, not to mention returner Frederik Gauthier, will likely pass Wilson over while he is recovering. Look for Wilson to begin the year in the minors with AHL Toronto, and likely spend the bulk of the season there as well.

Wilson will miss part of Toronto's training camp due to a hamstring injury, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson was already a longshot to be included in the lineup for the Maple Leafs' regular-season opener against the Senators on Oct. 2, and this injury certainly won't help his chances. Another update on the 28-year-old winger's status should emerge once he's cleared to join his teammates on the ice at camp, which will get underway Sept. 13.

Wilson agreed to terms on a one-year, $700,000 contract with Toronto on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After two seasons without an NHL appearance, Wilson played in 50 games for Pittsburgh last year, in which he tallied two goals, six assists and 54 shots while averaging just 7:37 of ice time. The 28-year-old is far from a lock for ice time with the Leafs and will have to make his case with a strong showing in training camp. Even if he is in the lineup for Opening Night versus Ottawa on Oct. 2, the winger will almost certainly find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically throughout the 2019-20 campaign.

Wilson scored just his second goal of the season in Sunday's win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson and his fourth line teammates Matt Cullen and Adam Johnson were all over the ice. Wilson had four shots on goal, three hits and a blocked shot in 8:49 of ice time.

Wilson logged a mere 4:50 of ice time versus the Panthers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Given his lack of minutes, it shouldn't come as a shock to see Wilson bogged down in an eight-game pointless streak. The winger shouldn't expect to see many opportunities down the stretch and could get bounced from the lineup once Bryan Rust (lower body) is cleared to return.

Wilson snagged an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 victory over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson has two points in his previous four contests, despite logging a mere 8:07 of ice time per game. The winger isn't expected to offer much offensively slotted into a fourth-line role and could find himself on the outside looking in once Derick Brassard (upper body) and Zach Aston-Reese (undisclosed) are both back in the lineup.

Wilson was promoted from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

With news that Zach Aston-Reese (undisclosed) is facing a potentially length absence, the Penguins added Wilson to the 23-man roster to give themselves some extra forward depth. Who slots into the open fourth-line role will come down to Wilson or Derek Grant.

Wilson was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson's demotion is a good indicator that Dominik Simon (lower body) will be activated off injured reserve prior to puck drop versus Minnesota on Thursday. In 14 appearances this season, the 27-year-old Wilson notched a pair of assists, four PIM and 10 shots, while averaging a mere 7:30 of ice time. If the Penguins can stay healthy, the Ontario native figures to spend the rest of the year in the minors, though he should sit near the top of the short list of potential call-ups.

Wilson is slated to remain in the lineup for the Penguins against the Capitals on Wednesday after clearing waivers, per Jonathan Bombulie of TribLive.com.

EDGE Analysis

Wilson's placement on waivers gives Pittsburgh the necessary roster flexibility to activated Dominik Simon (lower body) from injured reserve, but it appears that won't be needed ahead of Wednesday's tilt. The news doesn't bode well for Wilson's long-term outlook this season, as he figures to be shipped back to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton if the Pens' forwards can all get healthy.
