Contract negotiations between the Minnesota Wild and superstar forward Kirill Kaprizov were seemingly on the right path recently. The owner seemed to think things were getting close to a resolution while general manager Bill Guerin didn’t seem to worried about not having an extension for his best player even as training camp draws near. However, a report from a long-time hockey reporter indicates that things aren’t as copacetic as fans might hope for.
Sources say #mnwild superstar Kirill Kaprizov’s camp turned down an extension offer believed to be 8-years, $128 million in a meeting on Tuesday in Minnesota that would have made him the highest-paid player in #NHL history in both AAV ($16 million) and total dollars.
