Just read it before coming here. Truth be told he looks like a mix of PMB and Granlund, but better. Knows when to shoot, when to pass.Great article in the Athletic on what makes KK so effective, from a non-Minnesota writer.

I wouldn't ever insult him with a PMB comparison. Kap is nothing like PMB.Just read it before coming here. Truth be told he looks like a mix of PMB and Granlund, but better. Knows when to shoot, when to pass.

Very much like Granlund in many ways though, and has penchant for goals on top of it.
How many star Russians have stayed in the KHL until age 22? I don't know how common that is/was, so just curious.
97, as yet unworn by a Wild, and passes PMB's 96 as the highest number ever worn by a Wild player. Looking forward to it.
Would love to see him have the balls to wear #99
That number is retired league wide.Would love to see him have the balls to wear #99

Panarin was 24 when he came over.
Even if the team is terrible and he has no intention of staying beyond his ELC, it's probably worth his while to just make the jump and tough it out. The sooner he comes over the sooner he can start playing for bigger contracts.It seems like across various threads when talking about our future many people consider it a given KK is coming next summer.
Don’t hate me because I’m just speculating, but could he take a look at our last place team and organizational disfunction and just consider it’s not worth it? Again I don’t know if that would even play a factor I just am curious because so many people are penciling him in on our first line.

Or he can ask for a trade through his agent, the Wild can find a willing partner, and hopefully get something of value for his rights.
There's little room on the Wild, the team will not be set up for success next season, and St. Paul is no St. Petersburg. He's within his rights as a player with some accomplishments to his name to see what can be done to make his NHL debut a comfortable one that leads to a lucrative second contract.
Making room for Kaprizov by trading some of our other wingers makes more sense than trading Kaprizov.Or he can ask for a trade through his agent, the Wild can find a willing partner, and hopefully get something of value for his rights.

id cut wingers to make room for him not even needing a trade if it was an issue.Making room for Kaprizov by trading some of our other wingers makes more sense than trading Kaprizov.
If he wants to be traded then he and the Wild would be better off having him come over to play a season and show what he's capable of.
