If you watch hockey you will probably know who he is. He stands number 22 and 1 point behind Sydney Crosby in points this year. Is one of the highest in plus/minus in the top scorers while still having a significant number of penalty minutes.Tom Wilson is 6'4 and 225, but in my opinion he is just more stable on his feat and his ability to fight changes the dynamics of a shift when he is on the ice. People look for him as he knocks people out of games all the times.
Not sure if he kills penalties/on their main power play line, which could explain why his plus/minus is so good.

There are endless videos of Tom Wilson beast mode, Tom Wilson Savage mode because when he hits you, someone is usually hurt, and he never backs off from guys who want to protect their players. This has been a controversial decision as he is hard to control as some consider him dirty. No question, some hits are late but he changes the dynamics of any shift when he is on the ice. Plus he can score / set up players with equal assists and goals.
Love him or hate him - I hope they can control him in international hockey but was glad to see him make the team. I for one am glad he made the team.

Great pick. Everybody will have their heads up when he's out there. One of the most hated to play against but also one of the most loved when he's on your team.

There is something beyond the 6'4/225 lbs of muscle, he just looks mean and what is the most humorous is when two guys go after him after he flattens someone with a hit. He knocks one to the ground and the other drops the gloves, 9/10 times he wins albeit hockey fights are kind of humorous unless someone lands a real punch. Jerome Iginla was said to be one of the meanest players on the ice and nicest off. Who knows - I don't know them, but I know Tom Wilson changes the dynamics when he is on the ice.
Back on Tom Wilson - plus 20 I believe and I looked up to see how often he plays on the power play and he does a lot - usually in front of the net as he is hard to move. He also is major part of their penalty kill team. Look at Sydney Crosby's plus/minus and he is always in the convo of top 5 players in the NHL even at his older age and he is -3, Connor McDavid is plus 1 - tells something about when he is on the ice.
