Kaprizov must be starting to feel really frustrated with the team.
Probably a mutual feeling.

That would be the best bet. Fans are starting to turn on him too. Not saying the Wild are innocent in this and our GM is a moron. But Kap needs to get knocked down a few pegs.Probably a mutual feeling.
Like I said, I predict that it will end up something like 2 X 9.5M, and they just punt it down the road, when more certainty on future caps rises are there.
It really shouldn't take this long for the money being thrown at him.
What was negative about his short time in Minnesota? Fan response? No. Weather? Hah. He appeared to get along fine with the teammates. If he wasn't happy with his center, he thrived with Zuccarello.At this point I'm thinking the money is secondary. He just doesn't want to be in Minnesota. He wants a short term deal, the Wild aren't willing to give him it.
I dont think he hates Minnesota. It has to be that he doesnt want a 4+ year deal that doesnt get him top dollar. He's clearly looking at Panarin as the model and he wants that kind of money (11+ million), and doesn't want to wait 5 years.What was negative about his short time in Minnesota? Fan response?

Somebody tell guerin that they are now in the central and not playing the 4 worst teams in league 3 out of 5 games like last year. Can this guy even get 70 points a year when he plays those 4 teams 8 times a year and not 32 times. He needs to prove it in 82 game season and in the central. Guerin shouldn't go long term
It's pretty bad considering 7 players are UFA and 3 RFA after next season. There's gonna be a lot of entry level contracts on the roster that season.It isn't as bad as it sounds over the span of the buyouts, not ideal but something we can plan around.

It looks like it's 4+ years for peanuts or you sit the season out.Somebody tell guerin that they are now in the central and not playing the 4 worst teams in league 3 out of 5 games like last year.

This is just dumb. He’s an RFA. Why TF would the Wild give him $9.5 for only 2 years?Like I said, I predict that it will end up something like 2 X 9.5M, and they just punt it down the road, when more certainty on future caps rises are there.
They can, it just might not be in the direction we’d all hopeBetween the Kaprizov negotiations and the contract buyouts of Parise/Suter that will crush this team for the next few years...Minnesota's management just can't seem to claw their way out of mediocrity.

It means in his 1 and only year in the nhl he played more then half his games against 4 inferior teams . No one knows how good he is. He doesn't deserve more then a bridge contract.
Anyone can tell me why the Wilds opted to "forfeit" one of the year of his ELC? I read somewhere that benefited the Wilds but how?
I am not following this. If he would still have a year, he'll be playing at his ELC rate the upcoming year, still would be RFA after that. Probably be eligible for arbitration/offer sheet by then, but at least he'll be more properly evaluated.It was supposed to benefit us because he wouldn't be eligible for arbitration or offer sheets because he didn't play enough. Clearly it didn't matter.

I mean i would've undestood this if it was a condition that Kaprizov himself demanded to come over.
