Kirill Kaprizov could think almost 20 percent of the cap
Marco d’Amico of RG Media: This week there have been reports that Kirill Kaprizov has rejected a contract offer of eight years with a cap-hit of $ 16 million, and that the Minnesota Wild Kaprizov asked for a trading list.
A source said that Kaprizov is looking for almost 20 percent of the salary limit, in the reach of $ 18 to $ 19 million for an eight -year -old deal. The source notes that some believe that the salary limit could reach more than $ 170 million in the next nine years, which means that long -term agreements can be less attractive for the top players.
Another source said that Kaprizov is waiting to see how Connor McDavid reset the market, and adds that Wilde owner Craig Leipold tie his hands when he said that Kaprizov would be the best -paid player of the Lleague.
A source that is close to the wild said that De Wild will not Kaprizov not ask for a list of teams that he would accept an exchange.
After rejecting $ 16 million a year and possibly looking for 20 percent of the cap, this is not an easy negotiation. This contract could reset expectations for star players.
Minnesota Wild GM said conversations are going on with Kirill Kaprizov
Joe Smith and Michael Russo: Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin after the report by Kirill Kaprizov who rejects the contract offer of De Wild.
“We still have constant conversations. We love Kirill. We want to love him here. I have a good relationship with his agent and we are still in conversation. We are not in panic or something. This is just part of the negotiations.
“My job as a general manager is to protect my players, and I don’t want this stuff in public interest. That is the way we want to keep it, so I don’t comment on it. But I will say this: we absolutely want to keep Kirill in Minnesota.”
Kaprizov has a clause without movement, and if it comes to a point where they feel that he will not sign at all, they must ask if/where he would consider a profession. De Wild cannot have any other Marian Gabork situation in which he rejected an offer, was injured and left in a free desk. There is still enough time to close a deal, but the speculation will be ongoing.
Sources received no indication that he is looking for a short -term agreement.
The longer it goes, the more you wonder if he could go to free desk next summer to see who would throw more money at him for a seven -year -old deal. Would the New York Rangers, Carolina Hurricanes, Tampa Bay Lightning and Chicago Blackhawks be interested?
