Just reporting whats already been said. Was a tweet in French from someone creditable saying they would be allowed but deleted it because it was finalized yet. If you think the NHLPA is going to allow a complete nonsensical rule change without negotiation they won't. This is a direct hit to a rule change that affect players rights to play which is a huge no no to any sort of sport collective bargaining.
Its a ploy and tool being used to negotiate for the extended CBA. NHLPA just got back Olympic participation for 22 and 26. They are knocking down the blocks one at a time. This issue will be one solved.
I believe it is because he doesn’t want to sit around until January or whenever it is that 20-21 starts so he may as well re-sign with the KHL for another year. But watch it be 2-3 years because why offer him 1 year when he’s over a barrel.im confused i thought this was a 2020 playoffs issue , now your saying he cant play for wild this next season? please explain thx.

CSKA has publicly said that they wont allow him to leave mid season when the NHL starts back upCan’t we just do the loan thing with him too?

Russo Today: “Theoretically, he could sign with the Wild and be loaned to a European team so he could play until he needs to report to Wild training camp. But his current team, CSKA Moscow, has already made clear that if Kaprizov plays for them in 2020-21, he won’t be allowed to leave and come abroad in the middle of their season.”
There's really zero incentive for Kaprizov to sign with the Wild now. The smart move on his part would be to play another year at home and then reevaluate what's going on at that point.Can’t we just do the loan thing with him too?
