Things have just become extremely interesting in Minnesota, where De Wild tries to lock Kirill Kaprizov for a contract extension.
According to NHL Insider Frank Seravalli”Sources say that the camp of Minnesota Wild Superstar Kirill Kaprizov has rejected an expansion offer that it is supposed to be 8 years, $ 128 million in a meeting on Tuesday in Minnesota who would have made the best-paid player in NHL history in both AAV ($ 16 million) and total dollars.”
There were rumors this week that Kaprizov was back in the city and the two parties would talk about an extension. It was also talking that the attacker was willing to keep the team against the fire and tried to maximize his value, without a reason to see to see what Connor McDavid’s contract could look like. Speculation was that McDavid may get $ 16 million per season, but if Kaprizov wants more, he clearly tries to do more than to become the best paid player in the NHL.
Fans immediately responded to Seravalli’s thread and said things like: “Bro !! Why would he reject it, how much he thinks he deserves?” Others believe that this is a sign that he wants to go somewhere else, and the only reason to stay in Minnesota is if De Wilde pays him drastically too much compared to a seven -year contract that he can get if he draws another team next summer. But again, another fan wrote: “This is comical. What does he expect from other teams?”
Does Kaprizov make a smart standard?
Given the salary limit, it will go up again from where it jumped this season, with an eight -year -old deal now brings a risk with a superstar player. Technically, Kaprizov can wait until the season is over and earn more. A player can get 20% of the cap. If the cap jumps to $ 120 million in the next three or four seasons, that is $ 24 million per season, which looks like a discount as a discount.
Even now he can earn $ 20 million per season if he draws when the cap takes another jump next summer.
What happens next is unclear. Would the game consider an exchange if Kaprizov would not sign? They would run the risk of losing him for nothing by having him walk into the free desk to test the market. Or will they increase their offer?
In the meantime, Rob Reinhart writes: “The Kirill Kaprizov camp did not reject an extension offer for 8 years, $ 128 million in a meeting with the Wild on Tuesday, per multiple sources. I told that the negotiations are underway and that no monetary value has been presented, nor has Kaprizov or his camp told De Wild about a future contract.
