XXX2 ^^^^^^^ hey im finally about to upload a pic of my kaprizov wild jersey to my avatar. i'd like to think im kaprizov's biggest NA fan!
I dont know much about Kaprizov besides he plays in Russia and the Wild own his rights. How good is he supposed to be and who would u say he resembles on the ice? Is he a 50 or 60pt player? Thx

Your guess is as good as ours. He will almost certainly fall somewhere between Filatov and Malkin on the scale of NHL greatness...

while he now has the age 19 khl record which was previously held by kuznetzov & he had better #'s than tarasenko (at age 19) im not saying for sure he will be equal 2 or better. what im saying is he has talent and appears to be the sniper the wild are missing. i will be happy if he comes to minnesota and is a consistant 30-35G / 30A player. anything better is a bonus / jackpot!

He is the most naturally talented player out of Russia not only in his age group, but in quite some time. Absolutely deadly around the net. Elusive, great positioning, super accurate shot and one of the quickest releases I've seen. Great stickhandler and skater, but also has great vision and reads the game well. Scoring winger exhibit A.
Anything below a 60 pts player would be adissapointment by now.

Another 3 point (1+2) game for Kirill, and he's now 12 points in 7 last games and 21 points after 18 games overall. The same number of goals and assists as Tolvanen, but in one less game. Of course, he leads CSKA in scoring. And with 1.17 PPG he's 3-4 in PPG along with Kovy behind only Gusev and Dawes.

wow , i see plays like that and last night i watched kuznetsov zig zag & blow by D and score and i think how amazing will it be if kaprizov ever plays on the wild. i really believe kaprizov's skill is similar to tarasenko & kuznetsov.
That assist on OT goal was spectacular as well.
What linemates will he have on Team Russia, I wonder. Wouldn't mind to watch him with Gusev.

What are current SKA lines?
I would think Znarok will bring a complete line or 2 for chemistry.

Thing is SKA doesn't have lines that would scream instant chemistry this year, they have all been switched around many times.

I'd love if that were true! Can you please provide proof of this? I thought he was signed in KHL and staying there for 3 years.

If he does I am not sure he will be able to exercise it. I heard an interview be the Wild beat writer Michael Russo a few months ago and he made it sound like there was a some KGB shit going on with this guy. I think he even mentioned a Putin connection to his contract situation.
Yeah, it was Putin, he told Kirill: Stay in Russia or I will kill you! And Kaprizov stayed.
