Value of: Next Kaprizov's contract

[Dr Jan Itor]

Fair. But if we go into next season with the only additions to our roster being ELC guys, that would be a disaster. I don't think there's any question we have enough cap space to sign our own guys, and we should definitely have more than $2M in cap space after we get them signed.

I don’t agree with that.

 

[ThatGuy22]

I don’t agree with that.

Ya, not when those ELC guys are Boldy, Rossi and Addison/Menell

How about 4*6? 4 years @6 mil

Wow, what a stupid length for the next contract.

 

[StateOfHockey101]

Both kap and Fiala will get 4x6-6.5

4 years is I think the second worst contract length he could possibly receive from a team perspective, right after 3 years. I would be extremely disappointed in Guerin if Kaprizov got 4 years.

Sorry I forgot to read the part about his age. I guess 5-6 years but 6 mil would be a good idea.

If he would sign for 6 years at 6M, Wild fans would be cheering in the streets and Guerin would receive an extra phone for negotiations. I would love that, but I don't think it's going to be that easy.

I could see Fiala going for something like that at this point though.

4? No thanks

 

[TS Quint]

He will get a contract on the higher end of what would be considered fair and it will take him out of this COVID mess and into a more certain financial time for a long term contract where he cashes in for every penny he can get at the age of 27.

Well according to a recording of talk north podcast, wild with plenty of capspace are planning to sign Fiala, & kaprizov long term this summer instead of short term where he can become unrestricted free agent.

Yeah it's always the plan to sign your young guys long term instead of letting them become a UFA. It takes two to sign a contract though.

I’m sure that is what the Wild want to do. Players seem to want to sign contracts that have more stability and less money getting clawed back from the revenue split.

I know 4 years would not be what the wild want. But because we're Minnesota, this is how it will happen lol. Without fail, Minnesota sports teams just can't catch break.

Not a chance in hell this guy gets 9mil long term after 1 good season, especially when he’s an RFA. Also, keep in mind this is a flat cap, so contract will be less.

A guy like Boeser got 5.875m for 3 years, so maybe 5mil for 2 years?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Growing by the game...

 

[Prior]

I’m fine with all the money.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

"Silver lining", if you want to call it that, is that Fiala isn't exactly heading towards a cap buster deal right now, so that might give us a little more room than we would've thought coming into the season.

I think people talking about $9M+ are going overboard though.

He's a better player than Boeser, so

I brought up 8-9M on a long term deal specifically after a 1-2 year bridge where he builds upon what he's doing now. I didn't say 9M for 7-8 years right now.

I am a little concerned that Guerin might not give Fiala a very long deal

I’d be more than comfortable if he got $8M x 8 at this point. That skating clinic he put on at 4v4 just convinced me that he’s absolutely the real deal. He’s not in Panarin category yet, but the dude is quickly heading towards being one of the best wingers in the league.

I'm hoping Guerin tries to exchange security for money. Get him locked up at something like 6-7 years, 5.5M.

 

[57special]

One Billion dollars.

This guy is a bigger, stronger Marchand with better hair and none of the face licking.

Hopefully he's savvy enough to recognize a buy low opportunity if it presents itself. Of course, as we saw last year, he could go for 15 points in his next 10 games or something and be right back up there.
