Wilson signed a seven-year contract extension this past summer and the common thought is, the Toronto native is the captain-in-waiting after Ovechkin retires.

"Tom possesses all the intangibles needed to win in this league and we are extremely pleased to sign him to a long-term contract, giving him the opportunity to finish his career in a Capitals' uniform," general manager Brian MacLellan said.
