Rust, Wilson and Kuhnhackl Get 2-Year Extensions

Postby **King Colby** » Tue Mar 15, 2016 10:57 am

Wilson definitely has the best chance at turning into a LW on a scoring line.

Rust will always be a 3rd or 4th liner, but his speed and strength on the puck will help him there.

Kuhnhackl is a bit of a wild card. I think he has the skill set of a scoring line player but won't put it all together at the NHL level. If he changes his game and relishes a checking line/pk role, he could have a career in this league.

Kuhnhackl already has changed his game to a checking line/pk role.

I heard this morning that Wilson is in a walking boot. Anyone have a source for confirmation?

One of the reporters posted it on twitter last night that he was on crutches and in a boot. Just when they have good news with a player, he gets smacked down.

I really do believe CEC is cursed.

Sullivan said today that Wilson's injury is "longer term". Maybe we see Bennett in the very near future?

For anyone wondering where Hagelin is in that lineup...

Didn't see anyone post on this:

(If at work, Wilson needs surgery & it's a long-term injury.)
