Minnesota Wild Stuns Fans: The Shocking Twist in Kirill Kaprizov’s Contract Extension Revealed!
Just when you thought the offseason drama around Kirill Kaprizov couldn’t get any thicker, bam — the Minnesota Wild’s star forward drops a bombshell by turning down a whopping eight-year, $128 million contract extension. That’s right, the offer that would’ve crowned him the highest-paid player in the NHL got the cold shoulder. Naturally, this move has sparked a swirl of rumors, whispers of potential trades, and a frenzy of speculation about the future of the franchise’s crown jewel. With Kaprizov wielding a full no-movement clause, any talk of trading him isn’t so simple—it’s a chess game, and the Wild appear cautious not to make a move without his blessing. As training camp kicks off Thursday, all eyes will be on Kaprizov and GM Bill Guerin to see where things head next — a situation as unpredictable as a breakaway in overtime. Hang tight; the saga is far from over.
ST. PAUL, Minn – Just about a week ago Kirill Kaprizov was offered a 8-year contract extension worth $128 million. He rejected the offer which would’ve made him the highest paid player in the NHL.
Since then, reports and rumors have come out that the Wild are looking to trade their superstar after the rejected offer. Some suggest the Wild have asked Kaprizov for a list of teams he’d be willing to be traded to.
Kaprizov, 28, has a full no movement clause. Which means the Wild can’t trade him without his permission. Hence why you would ask for a list of teams he’d be open to be traded to.
A recent report from The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun says the Wild have not asked for a trade list and do not plan on trading Kaprizov.
Wild training camp opens on Thursday. We will hear from Kaprizov and General Manager Bill Guerin. Things can change before then but Thursday we will get more clarity on the situation. So, stay tuned.
