Minnesota declines

thank you

Didn't Kaprizov reportedly turn down a bigger contract than that already?

He turned down 9 million over 8 years because he believes he is worth 11 million a year after he shows what he can do

For that minny deal - you’d have to drop foligno and then Toronto still would probably add. Not because meaner isn’t amazing, he is, but he doesn’t have that jt factor that makes him amazing. Take him away from matthews and his point totals drop dramatically.

Trading a superstar the whole state of Minnesota has waited for six years would probably cause a riot

I’d rather keep benson if it was a 1-1. Draft capital involved while being late picks just makes me dislike the deal even more.

Yikes, Panarin put up 77 and 74 points in his 2 ELC years and signed a modest 6M deal. Didt realized Kirill was such an entitled kid

I mean he is in Minnesota, so maybe its just a tactic to get the hell outta there but ya seems nuts to turn down a AAV that would make you a top 5 paid winger in the NHL before you're actually a top 5 winger

I think he wants his contract to be up when he is still in his prime

So he's a slightly older, less proven Marner heading into a contract dispute. Fun times ahead
