Wild would need a lot more to trade Kaprizov. If he only signs for 3-4 years, which looks more and more likely as the summer goes on, then it'll be at least 2 years before the Wild consider trading him if it doesn't look like he's going to sign long term. However in 4 years the Parise/Suter dead cap is gone and they could offer a huge contract.
As for his RFA contract this summer, it's reported he already turned down 8 x $9M from the Wild as he wants a shorter contract to get to UFA in 3 years. Hopefully they can agree in the 4-5 year range but we'll see.
