@#$%&*. Suddenly our prospect pool doesn't look as great with no Tuch and no Kaprizov anytime soon.
****ing Minnesota sports... find an absolute steal of a pick in the 5th round and we can't get him over here. Like seriously, arguably one of our best prospects in our franchise's history and we might not see him for 4 more years, if ever.
I would think it gets harder to lure a guy coming off a KHL contract as they get older, not easier.
Will he even want to come over here after this additional 3 year extensions. He'll be offered a lot more by CKSA than our max ELC.

Hope the NHL fixes this Olympics debacle before that extension is over too. Has to have some type of impact on his decision IMO.
Is there a limit on performance bonuses that you can give an ELC player, perhaps depending on what round they were drafted in? Or is it open to negotiation?
Yes, there is a limit on bonuses. Tops out around 3.5 million in total compensation if you hit max.
No matter if you're a 1st overall or a 5th round pick, you can offer the same bonuses?
The Olympics are this year, and he was under contract anyway. A 3 year extension wouldn't impact 2022.
Deal is not done as far as I understand, but CSKA GM sounds pretty confident.
I'm assuming you speak Russian, the google translate of this article makes it seem like the interview was from today, and Kaprisov hasn't signed and is planning on waiting a bit to sign. Any insights that are possible lost in translation?
