While NHL open training camps, one of the big storylines in addition to the extension Connor McDavid is the expansion for Kirill Kaprizov with the Minnesota Wild. According to reports such as documented on Nhlrumors.com, Kirill Kaprizov has rejected a contract of $ 128 million with an AAV of $ 16 million. This is the richest in NHL history.
Minnesota Wild cannot change Kirill Kaprizov to Marian Gaborik
At some point, the Minnesota Wild cannot let this situation go for too long. Eventually they will have to go to the player and somehow have to get an answer. And say it wanted him to exchange, do we think the Carolina Hurricanes are actually in the game for a player like this?
According to Michael Russo of athletics, Who covers the Minnesota wild, the hurricanes can be a team in the game.
Michael Russo: At the moment the Wild Kaprizov has not asked for a list; Before I asked for a list … I would have conversations with other teams … Whether it is Carolina, New York, Chicago, LA, these are teams that I think would be interested – DFO Rundown (9/16)

And it’s not like the first time the hurricanes are linked to a player like this. During the summer, before Mitch Marner completed the drawing and trade between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Vegas Golden Knights, he was connected to Carolina. Jason Robertson, who was rumors in Handels in the summer, was connected to the Carolina Hurricanes. And although the hurricanes need an attacking punch, what should they give up?
NHL Rumors: What about the Carolina Hurricanes and Connor McDavid?
According to Russo on the DFO rundown podcastIf the hurricanes and the wild were to make an exchange, this would concern Andrei Svechnikov.
“They are the only team I think it is extremely motivated to try to get Kirill Kaprizov there and would also be willing to pay him. So if Kirill is motivated by money, and a team that has a chance to win and for the near future, they are a team with whom the Minnesota could talk wild.
And look, the only thing I will say, and I don’t want to put the cart in front of the horse here, is that the boys who may want the wild, probably have some no-move protection. I think of guys like (Sebastian) Aho, but one person who is not (Andrei) Svechnikov. So he is not Kaprizov, but that can be someone that there might be a small marriage, if you start a small package. “
While the Carolina Hurricanes can use a player like this, the questions become, does Kaprizov even go to Carolina and want to pay the owner Kaprizov? Remember that Kaprizov had a clause without movement, so he should approve a deal. Are the hurricanes one of those teams, or does he only want to go to a big city?
NHL rumors: report that Kirill Kaprizov is rejecting for eight years and $ 128 million
And despite the fact that Tom Dundon has the money, no one earns more than Sebastian Aho for $ 9.75 million. There were conversations about the hurricanes that Marner paid somewhere between $ 13 and 15 million per season. The same applies to Mikko Rantanen when the hurricanes exchanged for him without an extension. Neither of the players wanted to be there, and The owner did not want to pay.
The other day before @Fullpressnhl I wrote about Mitch Marner and the rumors of the Carolina Hurricanes.
Within the article I was talking about, the owner would actually pay the money to get it. History says no. #raise -Up

The owner will hesitate to even let an exchange like this continue because of what happened to Rantanen last year. But last year, when the hurricanes took over Rantanen, they sent Martin Necas in exchange for that. He had no trade protection. Most of their players do that, including Svechnikov, who has a no-trade clause of 10 teams. One of the top players who do not have trade protection is Seth Jarvis, and the hurricanes do not want to renounce him.

The biggest problem with Marner and Rantanen was whether they match the system of Rod Brind’amour. Something similar could be said about Kaprizov as Walt Ruff, producer of Hurricanes editorial content and team reporter, said when he caught up with GM Eric Tulsky.
“We have a core of 12 players who have been in contraction for at least four years, and the average age of those 12 players is only 26,” Tulsky said. “That creates a situation in which we have a lot of cap -space to make additions to keep improving the team and taking steps forward. We will always be looking for players we think they fit the way ROD wants his team to play.”
With the addition of Nikolaj ehlers, the hurricanes are set there. Again, Dundon is not going to pay Kaprizov, the type of money he is looking for, especially if it is 20 percent of the limit after being burned with Rantanen last year.
While the hurricanes could use it, Kirill Kaprizov does not go to the Carolina Hurricanes.
