Colin Wilson will have a lot to prove next season in Nashville. A restricted free agent this offseason, the Predators will make their pitch to keep him in town. However, the 22-year-old is still very difficult to figure out. He matched his career-high point total by the end of Februrary with 34, but had just one more point after that. The acquisitions of Paul Gaustad and Andrei Kostitsyn at the trade deadline didn't help his playing time or his role, and he became a a healthy scratch in all but two contests after March 15, beginning the playoffs as one, too. He didn't play until Game 2 of the second-round series, scoring in Game 5.
