Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin might be getting some summer chores completed ahead of time.
According to Michael Russo of The Athletic, rookie Kirill Kaprizov’s agent, Paul Theofanous is in town and is set to sit down with Guerin on Wednesday. While it’s speculated as nothing but the beginning of a long conversation that will eventually lead to a new contract for the Wild’s most talented forward to sign in the future, it’s lessening some anxiety for the drama-filled negotiations that will take place in the offseason.
It will most likely be a conversation just to feel what the other side is thinking about term and value for Kaprizov’s new deal.
