Production seemed to have softened, under ppg now. Thought he was 5 or 6 points over at the ~25 game mark or so.

my selfish hope would be hes not happy in his current situation thats why production has fallen.
Still can't get out of his contract. I hope he does well. There is something to be said for him developing on CSKA's dime.

Nope, someone noted recently that that's no longer an option. I don't know how recent that change was or any of the details, but it must have been a change in the most recent CBA (or whatever their equivalent of that is).
Anyone have the source on that comment? Maybe Russo's article on Kaprizov a month or so back?
Here's the bit from that article:
So it's possible, but when they have to give 18 months notice it's kind of moot.
Ah yes, that's right, thank you. So technically he could leave a little early, but the odds of that are so slim.

Or at least some team with a bunch of Russians on it does. Man, they are really spreading out the scoring on that team. There's a KHL superstar per line.
I don't think those are the lines. It looks like everyone's just listed in jersey-number-order.

Scored 2 goals (both ES) in a friendly vs Belarus. Russia won 3-0. He played on the line with Shipachev and Gusev and on the 1st PP unit...

He's been stuck with lesser-skilled line mates all season with CSKA. It's no surprise that when he's put on a line with NHL caliber players that he produces greatly.
1+1 so far in the 2nd in the last friendly (vs Korea) before the Olympics start. It looks like the Gusev - Shipachev - Kaprizov line is going to be good.

That sounds good! Are Gusev and Shipachyov on the same line on SKA as well? I ask because if so, there may be some mad chemistry on that line.
Yeah, they are. They had Dadonov on that line before, now it's Kaprizov. They looked great, and when they were on the ice, it always looked like Russia had PP. Of course, it was vs Korea. Other teams will be much tougher.
Minnesota should get Gusev from Las Vegas, I doubt he'll come there after that Shipachev disaster. And him and Kaprizov are money together.
Well, isn't it still unclear that even Kaprizov is coming? Acquiring another unclear asset would be just blind gambling.
And Vegas is doing pretty well without Shipachev, maybe he just wasn't a match with Vegas. Or had different goals than the team. Dunno.
Nice to see Kirill doing well though.

Gusev's contract expires a year before Kaprizov's, so it isn't very long to wait. I don't actually know, what Minnesota's situation with LW, so the team probably doesn't even need another top6 LW... And as to Las Vegas, it's not about how good the team is, it's about, what certain player thinks about the team. It's just would be interesting to watch Gusev and Kaprizov together in the NHL, but of course Minnesota isn't the only alternative. I just wanna see Gusev in the NHL, and I doubt he'll agree to come to play for LV.
