Prospect Info: Kirill Kaprizov lll

[thestonedkoala]

Ah... The United Arab Emirates centermen aren't quite to that level.

You're not looking at the right sport.

I know Kaprizov's contract ends April 30th, if his teams season ends early can he come here earlier?? or is April 30th the earliest?

I've seen it go both ways. I think because his contract is technically still active, he needs permission from his KHL team to do so.

I thought the contract ends April 30 no matter what so he COULD come to the NHL then, but that takes away a year from whatever contract he would sign in the NHL. Meaning he is an RFA a year sooner than if he starts in the 2020 season.

There is no transfer agreement between the NHL and KHL, so their contracts are generally respected. If a player is under contract, the NHL team cannot sign said player, unless the team who has said player under contract allows them to do so.

If the KHL team says no, that means the 30th is a hard date, he cannot come sooner... as was asked by the poster I quoted.

If he doesn't sign until after the regular season is over, his playing in the playoffs would have no effect on his contract length the following seasons.

I wouldnt understand if they said no, if his intention is to go to NHL after KHL career ends not sure why they would say no if he wont play another game in KHL, but its the KHL so who knows.

I agree, but others have said no in the same situation. It is what it is.

Good stuff

Apparently Kaprizov’s English is pretty good

Guess we can stop talking about that Russian center then.

 

[AKL]

Well f***

What do we talk about now

Over/under on points next season?

Kaprizov plays right wing, which is filled in the top-nine currently by Mats Zuccarello, Kevin Fiala and Kunin. The top-three left wings are Jason Zucker, Zach Parise and Greenway.

Asked frankly if he will have to create a spot (a.k.a. trade somebody) in the lineup for Kaprizov, Guerin said, “Yeah. I mean, that’s the case. I would have to. You’re only allowed so many spots, but that’s the name of the game.

“To be honest with you, have I thought about it? Yeah. But on a daily basis, no, because things have been going well. Our guys are playing well right now. And I don’t want anybody getting ahead of themselves thinking about that, including myself. We can deal with that down the road.”

A move is inevitable here... maybe 2 considering the lack of space already for Donato.

Donato and Foligno.

 

[57special]

I would hate to see any of those players move down to the 4th line, but if I had to pick one right now it would be Kunin. As of right now, though, I like what Foligno brings to the team. I would almost rather move Hartman and move Kunin to his spot...but I really don't like breaking up the GEEK's. Lotta season left, though.

It would be an offseason thing, when Kaprizov comes over.

Definitely. Will be interesting how things play out.

Probably even more that that if you consider the players we have at wing. We essentially have to move one of Zucker, Fiala, or Kunin if we want to give everybody an opportunity to succeed. None of Donato, Fiala, Kunin, Greenway, Zuccarello, Zucker, Parise, or Kaprizov should play 4th line minutes, it’s not their game. Add in that foligno might just be a sell-high situation. It will be interesting to see how it unfolds, that’s for certain

Donato and Foligno.

Trading Foligno doesn't really do much to solve the problem.

 

[57special]

Yeah, but Foligno provides big boy physicality. That becomes important come playoff time. I don't want Dumba standing up for people out there.

Agreed, last thing we need is Dumba fighting, and getting hurt again.

Clears out some non-essentials. Worrying about the sides is the next step.

Swap one out for Hartman if you’d like.

Hartman is a 4th liner as well.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Hartman is a 4th liner as well.

Then putting a 3rd liner in his spot should improve the team.

None fit what that line does

Then I guess we’re screwed.
