I get what they are saying, if they are expanding the playoffs to 24 teams. How many of them wouldn't have been playing in May? Would Minnesota? And does Minnesota really want to burn a year off of Kaprizov's contract. Would that count given the circumstances? What if it wasn't Minnesota? I can see the NHLPA leaving this one alone, because it could be a bit of a headache.

If Kap decides to sign in the KHL for another year, does that bump the length of his ELC down from 2 years to 1? I can't remember how those change by age.

It wouldn’t shock me at all. I do wonder if he’d have an out clause for when the NHL season starts, though. Not sure if they do that kinda thing over there

I doubt the NHLPA would touch this decision. Kaprizov isn't a member until he signs, but the player he replaces has been paying dues.
I just can't believe the NHL wouldn't use this as an excuse to let him sign and are instead opening up the possibility of him not playing in the show for longer.
If the NHL goes ahead and has a playoff including the Wild, I don't see how they don't allow KK to sign. To strictly follow a signing date, when everything else about the season as far as timing has been changed, seems arbitrary And unfair.

Must have patience in these times, but I am excited for when Fiala is carrying the 1st line and Kaprizov is carrying the 2nd line.

You never really know until they actually play together, but the plan right now should be for them to play together.
Although, if Boudreau was still around you just know that he would put Kaprizov with Parise and watch it fail for months before demoting Kaprizov.

The more and more I am watching the NHL fumble around with the playoffs, the more and more concerned I am that Kaprizov is going to say screw it and sign back with Moscow. I mean are they going to just jam the 19-20 and 20-21 seasons together?

Bettman said everything can be moved a couple of months, 20-21 season can start in December if necessary.
But does Kaprizov want to wait another 6 months? That's another question. Too bad he will not be allowed to play sooner, even if the playoffs start in late July.
Yeah, I can easily see him signing another one year contract with the KHL, if they start up in September, and the NHL refuses to let him play in the playoffs AND delays the season till just after Christmas. Wouldn't blame him, either.

You keep working on that one
Kirill Kaprizov can't become a UFA without either signing and playing out a contract with the Wild or having his rights traded by the Wild. He can't sign anything but an ELC contract unless he waits until his 28 year old season(5 seasons from now). If he waits that long, he's free to negotiate any contract he likes with the Wild only.

Except you said 28 years old, and I see up to 27.
How do Entry-Level contracts work?
Except, again, Europeans. They have to sign one-year ELCs until the age of 27.
