NHL Rumors: Kirill Kaprizov, Ilya Sorokin, and the New York Rangers

Emily Kaplan of ESPN: Signs are pointing to Minnesota Wild prospect Kirill Kaprizov finally making the jump to North America for next season. His KHL expires after this season.

“I’m concentrating on the final year on my contract, and that’s what’s in my head now,” Kaprizov said through an interpreter. “Of course, I do have a wish to go over to the NHL and test myself there, but I don’t want to make any hasty statements at this point because this season is a priority. So we’ll see.”

KHL and New York Islanders prospect goaltender Ilya Sorokin is also on an expiring contract and there talk of him coming over as well.
