Russian negotiation tactics 101.Ridiculous from the Kaprizov side.

He's surely looking forward to another year playing with Rask down the middle then 3 more seasons in a team that has $14 million locked up in two players that doesn't even play for the team anymore.Clock is ticking. Gotta wonder what Kaprizov thinks about the lack of moves Minnesota has made at the forward position.
I wanna see what team they could build for 2 mil. They would have to sell off everyone I assume right?This doesn't make a lot of sense. The KHL has been trying to level the playing field and has implemented a salary cap that stands around $12m USD.
So Kaprizov is going to take up $10m of a $12m cap?
I think that is unlikely.
The KHL salary cap doesn’t hold much weight for CSKA Or SKA. If it means getting a homegrown star back, they’d let it happen.I wanna see what team they could build for 2 mil. They would have to sell off everyone I assume right?
They're like Man City.The KHL salary cap doesn’t hold much weight for CSKA Or SKA. If it means getting a homegrown star back, they’d let it happen.
The only thing I would blame BG for is to not trade KK away if he decides to walk and leave like how we lost Marian Gaborik for nothing. Guerin offered term that I agree with, offered amount that I agree with. Ands its obvious the agent is looking to add pressure where he can, its his job. So everything seems to be working as it should be.
But we need to trade him if KK really leaves for good. That would be a hard pill to swallow if we get nothing at all

Kirill at 50% retained to Florida for Lundell + Grigorenko/Tippet
The data in the threat, not the fact that it's a threat, is.What is ridiculous?
Yes autocorrectI'm thinking you mean Denisenko? I'm pretty sour on Tippett, but for Lundell+either one of them I would do it.
What incentive is there to stay? How did BG make this team better this summer? Russians don't like to play in the sticks.I want to root for this guy why? He already shat upon the Wild
Seriously, how F$$%^&*&&n rich do you need to be?
Stuff like this is why I hate hockey agents. Yes, they're doing their job but it just makes player look really bad, typical greedy Russian who only cares about money and nothing more. Makes team, fans, both Minnesota and neutral ones, really sour on the player. There're people who understand that this is just an obvious laughable bluff from the agent who's doing his job but majority will just read the headline without any fact-checking and just say something like 'Good riddance, have fun in KHL then'.
That's... Guerin's fault? Really?
How is it not Guerin's fault? He's played hard ball up with Kaprizov up until a month ago when it appears that he finally relented on his 8 year stance. More so, how did he make this team better in the off-season? His biggest forward signing was Gaudreau and he ate up a significant cushion of cap space in the next three years for what reason? Kaprizov isn't going to stick around if in two years this team needs to rebuild.
As Jagged Ice mentioned, what incentives does Kaprizov have to stay with this team if they don't have a direction other than throw it at the wall and see what sticks.
No one has provided any reasonable answer to what Minnesota is going to do in the next three years when Suter and Parise's cap hit take up what? 17% of the cap?
