Something large, he’s great. The fact that he isnt over for two more years is a little worrying tho.

He has expressed that he intends to come here in 2 years, so there isn't really any worry. In fact, I think it's actually benefiting him since he won't be thrown to the dogs in the NHL and can develop a couple years in the KHL.

To answer you question OP, I don't think there is a price. He's pretty much an untouchable piece unless the team trading for him overpayed (something like Dahlin, Petterson, Matthews, etc...) which isn't happening. It would take an extremely enticing offer for Fenton to move him. Fenton was actually in Russia last week meeting Kaprizov for the first time and he spoke incredibly high praise of Kaprizov. It would be very odd for them to have just met and have a good experience together for Fenton to turn around and immediately trade him. What kind of message would that send not only to Kaprizov, but also to future draft picks by the Wild? The answer is a very bad one...

did you just bring up kaprizov in the same sentence as matthews and dahlin? hes not even ppg in the KHL. He is a good player but he is not elite the KHL is a league somewhere between the AHL and NHL skill wise. Kaprizov is most likely a 60 point 20 goal player in the NHL he has potential to be better but also hasnt proven anything in the nhl. He also isnt much of a prospect anymore at the age of 21 and his fourth season in the KHL we somewhat know what we are getting with him. his value would be around a young 50-60 point NHLer in my opinion as he has a chance to be better than that and a chance to be worse.

You're missing my point... If any team wants Kaprizov, players of that ilk would be the ask. I'm not trying to say Kaprizov is the same level as those players, because he's not. But OP asked the price, and that's what I think the price will be. And I actually disagree with your assessment of Kaprizov. He is an elite KHL player. I've watched about 10 KHL games this year solely to see Kaprizov. He looks insanely good. I realize the talent isn't as premiere as the NHL, but he finds space in the tiniest of areas, which is generally a very good sign for NHL success since the ice is much smaller here. Here's a couple reasons that lead me to believe he'll be a similar player to Panarin:

From two separate posts in The Athletic

"He captained Team Russia in the world junior championships two years ago and scored a tournament-leading nine goals. He scored the Olympic gold-medal clinching overtime goal just this past winter in South Korea.

He set an Under-20 KHL record two years ago with 42 points (20 goals) in 49 games for his old team, Salavat Yulaev (Ufa), last season led CSKA Moscow with 25 assists and tied for first with 40 points and this season leads the team with 10 goals and is tied for second with 17 points."

And from last year,

"Through 31 games this season, Kaprizov’s 32 points represent eight more than his next closest teammate with CSKA. He is seventh in the KHL in scoring and fifth in points per game. He is, without question, the best young player in the league, rivalled only by Vladimir Tkachyov (a 22-year-old with 0.79 points per game) and Eeli Tolvanen (an 18-year-old with 0.86), both of whom are dwarfed by his 1.03 point per game clip. The only under-24 players who’ve produced at Kaprizov’s level, in the history of the KHL, are Alexander Radulov, Artemi Panarin, Jan Kovar, Vladimir Tarasenko and Nikita Gusev.

[...]

Kaprizov broke the KHL’s under-20 scoring record in January of last year when he potted his 20th of the season."

The kid is breaking/tying/coming close to all kinds of KHL records at just 21. He absolutely is an elite KHL player.
