Speculation: Lazerus: Kaprizov to Chicago in 2026

[Uncle Scrooge]

I don't know if this rumor is accurate (probably not), but I've feared Kaprizov will leave Wild as soon as he's UFA from the beginning. Feels like such a Minny thing to happen to finally have that superstar, dead cap coming off the books and then seeing him walk.

I hope that doesn't happen, and Minny will spend every dollar of the Suter/Parise buyouts that come off the books next year in hopes of keeping him.

I'm talking about the damn lasagnas Giordanos serves up.

Lmao.

Giordanos is chain level Chicago deep dish.

Tavern style is significantly better.

Minnesota absolutely blows like 8 months out of the year. So Mild fans can show themselves out before talking down another place to live. My sister and her husband live in Edina now. If cookie cutter suburbia is your thing, enjoy.

None of the people talking bad about the city itself are Wild fans, and none of the Wild fans in this thread have said anything bad about the city itself, just to be clear.

I am thankful that Lazerus awoke from the dead once more to deliver us this important news.

Lazarus said it...I'm SURE it will happen.

Wow way to go to the tourist spot and form your opinion, pal. It's a big city. May as well go to Italy to see the Vatican and say you don't like how crowded Italy was.

What a meatball

Who exactly is inconsequential
Just wondering

Personally I think 9/10 prospects are usually inconsequential. I've been on this forum since August 2012 and have heard plenty of people arguing about the strength of their prospect pools. No guarantees of anything in hockey. Highly selected picks don't make it. Players bust. They don't develop well. You have to get lucky.

Prospects be damned, the Hawks are a lotto team and have a lot of work to do to get back to being a perennial Cup contender.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Just like the Tkachuk to St. Louis rumors, then this means Kaprizov is getting traded next year to whatever team he's willing to extend with, with a FO willing to pay the acquisition cost.

The pizza.

I am a life long Floridian and have only passed through Chicago in connecting flights to other places. But I will throw down on sight if you ever disrespect pizza in any form again. Chicago pizza is all the proof we need of a loving God

My family is from New York. To me, calling the deep dish from Chicago a "pizza" is disrespecting pizza. It has a lot of the same ingredients as a pizza, and is delicious in its own right, but it's not pizza. It's more like a pizza inspired casserole.

Tavern >>> Deep Dish

-All Chicagoans

It is the best part of Chicago, AINEC, and I never use AINEC.

For reference: I like Chicago, my wife's family is from there, and I like them too.

Once again for folks who don’t know/read laz he’s a complete clown.

So, he's the Adrian Dater of Chicago.

I like both styles.

Back in the 80's We used to have a place that was based down in Chicago called 'My Pi' (using the sign for 3.14). Can't remember what year it closed here, but as far as I've looked a year or two ago they're still open down there. Think they offer both options. No idea if they did tavern style back then. Think everyone here just assumed that deep dish was the only version.

Basically yes

I am not understanding how a pie baked with tomato sauce, cheese and toppings is not pizza because it's layered. You are literally getting more food and the bonus of caramelized tomato sauce with parmesan on top. That's like arguing a 5 bedroom house with 2.5 bathrooms can only be on the ground floor and adding a second story with 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom on top makes it a house casserole. There's more than one way to make a pizza no different than building a home. You're doing the exact same thing. Just differently

Now agree with me or I will be forced to go full Florida Man and throw an alligator at you or something

Important update in the great pizza debate

My gator, Chomps will not participating as the flooding caused by the recent hurricane have allowed him to escape and he is presently 6 miles up the Withlacoochee River

I will now be forced to do what every person in Florida does if you disagree about them with anything I will turn into a pseudo political discussion with nonsensical ad hominem attacks. Because @IWantSakicAsMyGM disagrees with my politics, he both knows nothing of good food
