Kaprizov: Yes or No

[Joseph Nathan]

With Michael Russo basically breaking Michael Russo extension this summer, how many of you think he knows about Kaprizov’s extension numbers, or at least how much wild will offer?

He basically is saying he’s expecting numbers to be in ballpark of 15 to 17 mil per year, but he’s expecting Kaprizov to break NHL history in terms of how much teams can offer

He is 26yo in his third NHL season it sounds too much but I dont know in 2023

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Voted yes and no since it was allowed.

NHL

Draft

18

1.1

$950,000

$950,000

$950,000

Maybe Chicago will trade us

 

[AKL]

I don't think Kaprizov signs here for any less than 16

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

If the cap goes up by 2.5% each year, it’ll be ~$87.7M in the summer he’s eligible to extend. $15M per year would be ~17.1% of the cap. Matthews just signed for 15.9% albeit only 4 years.

 

[BagHead]

Voted yes and no since it was allowed.

Sort of wish I'd done that since I'm sure Russo has some idea, but it's not fact yet. But yeah, I think Russo's got a decent idea that Kaprizov will be effing expensive and won't take a discount.

im a huge kaprizov fan however IF we could get 4-1sts; 4- 3rds; 4-5ths; & 4-7ths for him i'd probably trade him. cheers! let judd work his magic and build the best team ever teehee

 

[Digitalbooya]

Yeah, screw 2nd, 4th and 6th round picks!

 

[Minnewildsota]

Yeah, screw 2nd, 4th and 6th round picks!

Even round picks are bad luck

 

[Wabit]

Even round picks are bad luck

What if they are even number pics in the odd numbered rounds?

 

[Arturia Pendragon]

What if they are even number pics in the odd numbered rounds?

And if we have an even number of total picks?

 

[mezcal]

Pay our sweet angel baby

 

[Wabit]

And if we have an even number of total picks?

And it's an even numbered draft year?

 

[AKL]

And it's an even numbered draft year?

An even number of even numbered picks in an even numbered draft year is an odd number of evens, so it balances out

 

[Wabit]

An even number of even numbered picks in an even numbered draft year is an odd number of evens, so it balances out

Not if they are all in even rounds. Then it's 4 evens, so an even number of evens.

 

[Arturia Pendragon]

And it's an even numbered draft year?

We wouldn’t even stand a chance

He just simply isn't worth anything close the Austin Matthews. Winger vs C... etc..etc.

You're really going to try to sign Kirill for 7-8 years and north of 12 million? Would be an error right up there with signing Foligno to 4 million per.

Pastrnak has set the winger market (as of now). Depending on what the cap does, I'd probably put Kaprizov in the $11.5M to $12.5M range.

But I think it'll take at least $100 million to get it done.

 

[HotDish]

Maybe if he could get us out of the first round I would be more ok with paying the money. I don't doubt it will take more than 11 mil a year but I hope the ceiling is 12 mil. If he was a center i would be willing to go more.

Guy is literally carrying the franchise. We would be so bad without him.

True, but he's doing it from ages 23-28 at $9M. Can he do the same at ages 29-36 at $13M?

 

[Wasted Talent]

I feel like Kaprizov's skill set should age well, so the decline in his early 30s shouldn't be that steep.

Ask me in 2 years and I’ll have a better response.

What about his skillset will age well? His entire game is predicated on his skating.....
