Bill Guerin initially refused to give public comments when the news that Kirill Kaprizov leaked $ 128 million online. Not long after the report started spreading, he had little choice. Speaking of the report that Kaprizov rejected an eight -year -old deal of $ 16 million per season ($ 128 million contract), Guerin noted: “I know two things. That info did not come from us and it did not come from Kirill’s agent. I don’t know where it came from.”

He said he has a great relationship with Kirill and his agent. Speak with 10,000 takes, He added”I don’t want our market here to go into a total panic mode. The most important thing is Kirill and does not bring him in a bad place. We love him. He is an incredible player. And we want him.”
He said they can handle each other. This is only part of the negotiation process and De Wild is not worried.
Guerin also told Michael Russo and Joe Smith of the Athletic:
“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.”
Is this claim for damages and guerin?
It is unclear whether the concern is that this information that is there is a significant problem or that the fact that it is where possible is the bigger problem. If Kaprizov rejects $ 16 million per season, insiders and analysts try to find out exactly what he is looking for. Many wonder if this is a sign that he is determined to play elsewhere, and he will pay the game too much too much to prevent him from testing a free desk. As an alternative, this can have nothing to do with Minnesota and everything that has to do with not wanting a longer term or thinking that he will be worth a certain amount in three or four years and to give the right to negotiate again.
It is clear that there is a decoupling between the team and the player. They want him to be locked up for as long as possible, but he seems willing to cut and retain the maximum that he can get if he is going to give up for years on his career and have to commit today.
