Probably the funniest/ saddest thing to see.

Funny cause somehow the Wild can’t catch a break.

Sad because they finally got that game breaker/ franchise potential player they’ve literally be crying for for years, and he may walk..

Give the kid a damn 12 mil 1 year if there’s some issue in committing for the Wild. Do anything.. Keep the kid here for Christ’s sake.

As of now talks with likely Rookie of the yr Kaprizov & @mnwild have gone cold. My understanding is he’s in Moscow and it’s believed CSKA is interested in signing him for KHL & Olympics.

Definitely some posturing by the agent but ya not a good look. In the words of Teddy KGB, “pay that man his money”

Hard to believe that but maybe he won’t take a bridge and BG is playing hardball.. if they don’t come to a deal how long till KK becomes a UFA?

My guess is that tweet from weekes was copy and pasted from a text from the agent

Yeah I’d probably pay him

Kirill Kaprizov is the type of player you'd generally like to keep from peacing back to Russia after one year if possible. #mnwild pic.twitter.com/7fH0Blr6UL

Apparently he wants money and a proper center to play with

thats two big asks

but considering he basically carried that team into playoff contention he in a sense is justified for his asking

hmmmm Russian player wants money, people want Marner gone

Dubas and Kaprisovs agent are good friends

Perhaps

no no no we dont need to move one big 4 for another

even though Kaprisov and Matthews would be sick

Word on the street he wants to be reunited with his former teammate and good friend Ilya sorokin

issue is Islanders got to save cap for Barzels next deal in 2 years.

reportedly if Kaprisov was offered 8mill x 8 and turned it down how much does this kid want lul.

I think he wants 9-10 mill on a 4-5 year deal

I know he did well by rookie standards but 9-10 mill

that seems steep

like Rantanan and Marner had multiple good seasons to get their money

banking on 1 good rookie season can come with big risks

as lets be honest

what if next year he only gets 16 goals and 25 assists. That 9-10 mill will be looking pretty bad.

I say a bridge deal or a 1 year show me deal may need to happen before management can go here is 10mill

He absolutely wants a short term deal to cash in twice. Billy G is probably offering long term deals only right now

Exactly. I think he shares the same agent as panarin

He’s worth it IMO

This will end in MIN giving in, guys a generational talent. You pay for that. This probably takes them out of the Eichel sweepstakes tho.

Here’s what I would do .

Sign JEE 5.5 x 5
Kaprizov : 9 mill x 5

Trade a 1st + Beckman for Hertl with extension. Hertl and JEE is a great 1-2 lunch and let Rossi spend a year in the AHL.

My night went from a beer kind of night to a whiskey on ice kind of night night. Get this kid Jack Eichel to play with and get it for him now.

You hit the nail on the head. Source from our beat writer for those interested.
