Kirill Kaprizov seems to take fans on an emotional rollercoaster like few players in the Minnesota Wild’s history, and, likely future.
The supremely-talented forward took the Twin Cities by storm this past season after his arrival to the NHL was anticipated for the previous five years. He was deemed to be a franchise savior before he took the ice for the Wild and he showed the potential to live up to those expectations as he received the Calder Memorial Trophy as a near-unanimous selection.
