Kaprizov's extension could make Eichel's next payday eye-popping

On Tuesday, I woke up to some jaw-dropping numbers. Initially, I thought that Jack Eichel got a contract extension with the Vegas Golden Knights, ending the world's longest game of chicken. However, I was misled.

Instead, it was Kirill Kaprizov sticking around on an eight-year, $136 million deal with the Minnesota Wild. For all the talk about Kaprizov potentially leaving the Wild for greener pastures, it went up in smoke on Tuesday after inking a new deal.
