I agree with Dario. As long as he can stay healthy and away from the Lindros Killers™ (see also: repeated concussions), he should continue to develop into what Andrew Brunette has become: a solid winger. Only faster. And younger.

Hopefully he avoids the Svatos slump and has a sophomore year like Alex Tanguay did—20 more points and a Stanley Cup ring.

You know he started off so strong! But it seemed that he kind of started to die down around Christmas time, but he did do pretty well. I think the true test will be this coming season cause you cant judge a rookie to hard. Lets just hope he starts off strong and stays strong!

It’s hard to judge rookies, it really is. Wolski never seemed to create a lot of scoring chances but took advantage of scoring chances created by others.

I really like Wolski’s length and his ability to fore-check and create turnovers with that long reach. Wolski hit a niche in his play at one point where he did that Gretzky curl along the side boards during a rush. He fed his teammates and created a lot of havoc with his move in the second third of the season.

I’d like to see Wolski more active on the boards with higher assist assist totals especially if he’s playing with Sakic. His defensive game was impressive during the winning streak. Even with his healthy point totals I think Wolski has room to grow and frankly I think he has the mental stubborness to improve where others would stay satisfied.
