Value of: Next Kaprizov's contract

[Kshahdoo]

His ELC is over after this season, so what are the Wild going to offer him, and what is Kirill going to accept?

He's 24 so it's 3 years untill UFA. I think, it's going to be 2 year bridge with $5-6M per.

That would be unacceptable from the team's POV.

Long way to go still, but unless he absolutely explodes the rest of the way, we should have the capability to make him a fair long-term offer.

 

[CupInSIX]

Minimum 2 years x 4.75m, and 6m isn't out of the question.

 

[CraigsList]

It would be foolish for the Wild to not offer an 8 year contract for starters.

Jeff Skinner says hello.

Skinner is an anomaly. Even us fans knew that he was only worth a little over half of that AAV.

His agent isn't idiot and won't sign anything long, if it's not $8M/year at least. Probably more. Minnesota won't give him this money after just one season.

 

[Kuznetsnow]

Exact same thing Kuznetsov did, 2 cheap years followed by 8 UFA value years

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

What’s the 2 year bridge to 1 year arbitration to UFA scenario? Is it in play?

It was mentioned on last talknorth podcast, or while back Guerin will try to sign him to long term deal.

Wild aren't signing him to 2 years deal so he can become unrestricted free agent. Also his agent is friendly with wild. 5-6 years deal isn't long enough for his agent to say no

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

6 years @ 5.5 per.

He'll be RFA in 2 years. I think, he'll go Panarin's way (aside from political talks): ELC => bridge => long big money contract. He's almost 24 not 18. He won't waste his whole prime years for 6M/year.

 

[PAZ]

Think it's either 2-3 year at 5-6 mil AAV or 6-8 year at ~9 mil AAV.

He's a RFA this off-season. Free agent in 2 years where he would be 27

He'll be 26 in 2 years...

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Guerin would be smart to get him to a max term deal. Give him 7.5-8 per year

 

[Canada4Gold]

bridge 1-2 years at 4.5-5.5 million probably most likely, followed by whatever long term deal he'll get after that which will be dictated by his play over all 2-3 years.

Or long term now. Perhaps 6 years at 7 million, or 8 years at 8 million. I can't see it getting any higher than that.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

I probably offer him the Connor contract which would be more than fair.

 

[ThatGuy22]

Fiala is up to. It'll be interesting to see who goes first in this scenerio, and what that does to the other's negotiating leverage.

I think Kaprizov might surprise people with his deal. I know conventional speculation is Russians want the highest cap hit they can get. I think Kap is a bit different from all accounts he loves the market and he really acts like a team first guy. I'm not saying he will take a hometown discount. I just could see him signing maybe for a year longer and a mil cheaper than people think when the time comes.

 

[RationalExpectations]

Fun fact, next year, MIN has 22m cap room to sign 9 players, incl. Kaprizov + Fiala. That should be taken into account. The question will also be whether or not the player wants to sign long term with the team.

 

[GuerinUp]

kap 8x8
fiala 8x 7.5-8

do whatever it takes to make it work

Dumba out due to expansion.

Fiala - 8
Kap - 8
JEE - 4.5
Hartman - 2
Menell - 1
Rossi - ELC
Addison - ELC
Boldy - ELC

$2M in cap space. More if we buy out Rask.

Not likely. Guerin will want to sign him long term....7-8 years ~$8 million per.

You think MIN exposes Dumba ? Anyway then you have to replace him so let s assume another 3m ? You are already short on cap
