After rejecting a contract extension offer from the Minnesota Wild that would've made him the highest-paid forward in the league this upcoming season, star forward Kirill Kaprizov has been the subject of speculation and rumors in the media and various fan circles early this week.
There are a handful of teams that have the means and the salary cap sheet room to hypothetically make a trade deal work with the Wild in the Western Conference for Kaprizov this year, including the Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks.
