Meet Colin Wilson,
Nashville's first pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.
Ranked 8th by ISS heading into the draft, Wilson's a
very competitive winner and strong two-way player. He's
responsible defensively, a true leader, extremely strong
and ISS believes he could jump right in to the NHL right
away and not look out of place. The son of longtime
NHLer Carey Wilson has a very good mix of size and skill
and is not afraid to mix it up. He battles hard, gets
involved physically and is more than willing to stand up
for himself and his teammates.
