let him go back to the KHL, he is not worth north of 6M on a long term contract, he had one good year, in a abnormal division, in a shortened season., massive gamble to give him anything north on 8M on a long term contract.

He is literally our 1st superstar ever. Letting him go would cause a riot. He is worth every penny.

Guess u never watched him?

Guy isn’t just some one year wonder

The Suter, Parise buyouts were slightly stupid considering the cap they take up for the next few years. Obviously not much this year, but it gets bad.

However, Kaprizov is one of, if not the one superstar, Minnesota has ever had. He is exciting to watch and brought a lot of eyes and viewers to Minnesota hockey. Pay him what he wants and figure the rest out later.

Hockey is growing in the Minnesota market and that’s a good thing.

Got money will be used for all next year signature... give him 8M guy's!

The thing with the buyouts is, even if they never happened, the Wild would still be seriously cap-strapped. With the exception that they'd have a couple of middle-aged pylons on their roster, that is.

The contracts themselves were the problem, as the buyouts don't cause any additional cap restraints
