2018-19 Penguins’ Season in Review: Garrett Wilson

Born: March 16th, 1991 (28 years old)

Height: 6’2”

Weight: 199 lbs

Birthplace: Barrie, ON

Position: LW

Shoots: Left

Draft: 107th overall, 4th Round, 2009 by the Florida Panthers

Contract status: Pending unrestricted free agent on July 1, 2019

After only logging 5 games for the Panthers between 2013 and 2015, he played in 29 games for Florida without scoring a point in 2015-16.

31 and 42 point seasons in back-to-back seasons for the Wilkes/Barre-Scranton Penguins in the AHL gave Pittsburgh some optimism, but it did not continue at the NHL level.
