Minnesota Wild begin training camp this week sans Kirill Kaprizov
The Minnesota Wild open training camp this week with players reporting on Wednesday and workouts starting the next day. There will be one notable absence, however: Kirill Kaprizov.
The league’s reigning rookie of the year, remains in Russia in a contract stalemate. When and if it ends, is the question.
“Honestly I have nothing new to tell you,” Wild general manager Bill Guerin said when asked about the situation during a media session on Sunday. “ I would tell you but really don’t have anything new.
“I’m disappointed that we don’t have him signed, but as I’ve said all along we are not special we are not the only team in this situation,” Guerin said. “He’s not the only player. ”
