The remembrance around Wilm was when the Flames gave him a low offer in free agency and he went to Nashville, his agent came out very publicly and said the Flames were cheap and made a huge mistake and that, given the right situation, his client could be a 20 goal scorer.
He scored 5 in Nashville in his one year there, playing all 82. He played 80 games over 2 years with the Leafs and got 1 goal. Then 40 games in Sweden the next year and got 13. And 9 goals in 40 games the year after in Sweden. So his agent was right, he was a 20 goal scorer in top league hockey, it just took 5 calender years to do it.
