Wilson will not be eligible to be drafted in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft, Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Young, physical, and cheap, Wilson will be staying with the Caps for the time being. The 23-year-old posted 19 points, 239 hits, and 133 PIM this season, finishing the season with a plus-9 rating. Washington knows what they're getting with Wilson, and that's a player that can play both ways and will be good for around 25 points for the next few years.
