Sportsnet: Elliote Friedman about the 32 thoughts: the podcast – the only thing that is bigger than Hischier will be Kaprizov’s contract episode, on Kirill Kaprizov, Minnesota Wild -owner Craig Leipold’s earlier comments about doing what is needed, and Kaprizov will just wait for more.

“Now, the short term, that is now the bigger question. What is happening in the meantime? Now one of the questions that has been asked a lot around the competition is,” Okay, Kaprizov said no against eight times 16, did he give the wild number? ” They would say, “Okay, if you place this in front of me, I’ll sign it.” Or the wild asked him, “Okay, you’re not going to take this, what are you going to take?”
And as far as I can see, that did not happen. That is that in the sense that there is no magical number for Kaprizov, that he said, or his representative said, “Put this for me and I will sign it.”
Okay. Now, that of the dangers of this is, nobody really comments here, but I think this story is so explosive, and there is so much talk about the competition, I think if there was a song on the table,
Then I think we know. So I say now that there is not as far as I know.
Uh, I think one of the things that happened in a few podcasts ago spoke about it with Craig Leipold, the owner, who says: ‘We will do everything needed to get this done. We can sign it for the biggest check. ‘I think there are people here who wonder if Kaprisov and (agent Paul) Theofanus are just sitting there and saying: how far can we push this?
Shall we be about to negotiate the game against itself? Do they just keep raising the number? Okay, we didn’t do it at 4 pm. How from 16 and a half? What about 17? Like, I don’t know exactly what the song would be here, but there are many people who are good negotiators, they will say, if you have someone who says that publicly, sometimes the best thing you could make until they continue to make offers.
But if you are wild, you have to sit back there and think and say: ‘Okay, is this really the best for us to do? Is it logical that we will continue?
You know, it’s a bit like dating, right, kyle? You know, sometimes you ask someone out, maybe they say no, and you think, okay. You know, some people are like, oh, okay. They said no, I will continue to someone else. But some people are like, okay, they said no this time, I keep trying. I really don’t like this person, I don’t give up that easily. Like, thank goodness that Dana finally said yes to you. I could only imagine how often you had to ask her before she said yes.
But let’s, the question, the wild that is going to do with Kaprizov. And you know, I acknowledge that Kaprizov is not like many other players. He is quite unique. He is one of the best players in the competition.
So, and you know, one of the things I have had about Kyle is the book, The Ball Truth by David Falk, the old basketball agent, and he talks about how some players are more valuable in their situations than others.
As you may look at Kaprizov and say, “Okay, I don’t think he’s a player of $ 18 million or $ 20 million player.” But he is so valuable in Minnesota that the game might have to look at it and say: “Well, maybe he is not a $ 18 million player in Florida, but he is perhaps a player of $ 18 million for us.”
I think that is one of the biggest decisions to make Minnesota. Are they moving or not? And I think you now, I think they are emotional. But I think you have to lean back, really breathe deeply and decide, are we, are we smart to increase our offer?
Like, I remember one, one GM told me this weekend about a story, and he said it was not a player who was as good as Kaprizov, but they went after him in a free freedom of choice, and we continued to increase our offer, and the player stayed on Zoomen and Hawing. And finally they just said, like, he doesn’t really want to be here. If, if he will be here, he is here alone for the money, and that will be a disaster for all involved.
So I actually think that the biggest decision is from Minnesota. “
