The Minnesota Wild may not have asked Kirill Kaprizov for a trading list
Daria Tuboltseva: Russian journalist Alexei Shevchenko said the Minnesota Wild Kirill Kaprizov asked for a trading list.
- Cam Robinson: Sources have said that it might be a bit premature to say that the Minnesota Wild Kaprizov asked for a list of teams.
- Marco d’Amico: “Note that Kaprizov has a full NMC, so this would be a request for a list of teams to which he would entertain an exchange. Earlier today, Eliotte Friedman discussed the possibility of another team that is willing to offer Kaprizov big money. Schevkenko is considered a legitimate source in Russia.”
- Jim Birger: “At some point this can happen when these discussions come in the season and it is clear that he does not want to expand and stay, then Minnesota would have to trade him and not let him walk on Gaborik. But Wild wants to sign him. Current discussions, but the player holds the power.”

The why, and where things can stand with Kirill Kaprizov

Bukauskas: “On Wednesday, the Kaprizov rejected an eight -year -old deal that would have paid him $ 16 million per season. Would it be the biggest contract in the history of the National Hockey League. So where is things, Elliote, between Kaprizov and the Minnesota Wild?”
Friedman: “I’m not going to answer that question first. I’m going to answer that question as second.”
My first reaction to hearing that could be rejected, why? Because when I heard that it would be offered, my conviction was in that situation, I talked about this a bit with people, you assume that offer because it is so big. You have it, you know it is there, you never have to worry again. And if things go wrong, you deal with it.
NHL -Rumors: Jack Eichel and Rasmus Andersson
For example, let’s say that Kaprizov takes the deal and he is in year three of the extension, and says that Minnesota is not very good and he has no hope, then you say, “Look, guys, I want to trade.” That is how you deal with it. You have the money in your pocket. You have this huge deal in your pocket. And you treat the situation if it becomes untenable.
So for him to say no, one thing convinces me. He or his representatives, his agents Paul Theophanes, they know that there is something else that is bigger. Now that a deal is larger than eight times $ 16 million from the wild, assuming that this is not a signature, there must be someone with a seven times $ 19 (million) or a seven times $ 20 (million). That there is someone who sets up smoke signals and says we can do better. That is the logical explanation for me. ‘
Bukauskas: “I was told that there would be no mess.”
Friedman: “It doesn’t mess. It’s …”
Bukauskas: “Smoke signals.”
Friedman: “Theorizing.”
Bukauskas: “Yes, that’s right.”
Friedman: “There is no mess with the National Hockey League.”

Bukauskas: “Look there.”
Friedman: “There is no gambling in Rick’s Cafe.”
Bukauskas: We had breakfast in Rick’s Cafe. “
Friedman: “So that is my theory, that if a golfer, someone has licked his finger, put his finger in the air, and they feel the way the wind or feeling the way the wind blows. There is someone who is willing to make a better offer.
So let’s go to your question now. Where does it stand between De Wilde and Kaprizov? Well, I think number one, the wild was a bit surprised. I don’t think there is any doubt about that.
And I think there is nothing in the first place, someone said to me, do you think he wants a shorter term deal? No, I don’t believe that. I mean, I can always be wrong. I was missing it before, but I don’t believe that. I think if you have the injury history that Kirill Kaprizov has, I don’t think you are interested in a deal in the short term.
And I think that is actually one of the biggest questions that the Wild has to answer here, and that is, how do they continue? Are they willing to take a gamble with a player who has missed quite a few games, or are they going to sit there and say, well, we are going up our offer? ‘

You know, it will be, I mean, it was already a huge song. Are you willing to make it an even larger number? Or, and Kaprizov has a clause without trade, you go to him and say, “Are there teams you want to go?”
Really, those are the options for Minnesota. They let it play, see where it goes. They increase their offer or act. And I am sure that on Wednesday is what they did. They walked through all those scenarios. “
