Speculation: Kaprizov's Next Contract

[f7ben]

And he hasn't signed anybody yet friend.

Tiger and changing their stripes and all

Tiger and changing their stripes and all

I'm not saying he won't, but we'll see what happens.

 

[Minnewildsota]

From what I understand the last folks in charge of it all tried some ridiculous, half assed scheme to combat the bird flu thing and killed a bunch of the chickens here in the US. Guessing they were trying to offset it by buying them from overseas. Or anywhere else they could get them. The new people that took over had a new plan and it's helped drop prices buy 2/3. I quit eating breakfast about a year or so ago, so I don't really buy eggs much anymore. However due to curiosity, when I walk by them in the dairy aisle, I'll take a look to see what they're at for price at the time.

I mean, this is half true.

All of our bad contracts are just placeholders for the kids.

That's nice to think about in theory, but rarely works that way in practice. You can still sign good contracts while waiting for the kids. This GM is still going to give out bad contracts when the kids get here.

 

[MK9]

I mean, this is half true.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Do we actually think a short-term deal is in play? Something like 4 x $12.5M?

Guerin gets 5 years to get it done or he goes Cup hunting in his 33+ years.

Wouldn’t be a shocker but I wonder how aware of his injury history he is and would be more looking for term.

With rumors that Marner and McDavid are open to the possibility of mid-range deals (~5 years) due to the fast-rising cap (and more player control), it wouldn't surprise me if Kaprizov sees it the same way.

That might be the best for the Wild

I’d be shocked if he did. Kaprizov’s next contract starts when he’s 30 and he’s an undersized forward who has back to back season missing significant games. His agent is going to want to cash in.

 

[Saga of the Elk]

Can't imagine why his agent would say Kaprizov deserves less than Elias Pettersson or Panarin in a rising cap environment.

Just saying that the $12.5 AAV is most likely not happening, unless one truly believes he likes playing with Zuccarello and Johansson so much that money isn't an issue.

Well, Rantanen settled for 12M, is about the same age, has far greater productivity overall, is a Cup winner, and doesn't miss big swathes of games. For a while there, immediately after his trade from CO, he looked exposed, but came storming back with a great playoffs for DAL.

We all love Kap, but that's mainly because we have never had an elite talent like him to compare to. On teams like CO or EDM - he would be the 3rd best player, and the 2nd best player on other teams. Again, durability is an important ability. If you aren't on the ice you might as well be Victor Rask - actually those players are better because of the smaller sidelined cap hits.

You double dipped on the same reason. If you look at their actual productivity, points per game, Kaprizov is much more productive.

The only team Kaprizov is the 3rd best forward on is Edmonton and that’s because they might have the two best forwards in the game. Comparing Kaprizov to dmen is pointless.

 

[DigitalBoldy]

It’s hard to blame Kaprizov for Stanley folding him up and the surgery this past season likely had something to do with that incident. If the surgery was a success and cleaned up all the issues, I don’t see any reason Kaprizov can’t stay relatively healthy (70+ games per season) going forward.

It's not happening on an 8 year deal.

 

[Saga of the Elk]

the 8-year, $97 million deal just feels right

 

[57special]

Also looks right.

 

[DigitalBoldy]

7 years $97M is more likely IMO.

 

[kfan22]

He will get 8 years at 14 or 15 million

Hmm? He's a top 2 winger in the league
