Value of: Next Kaprizov's contract

[The Moose is Loose]

7 million for 5 years is my prediction, gives him a chance to hit free agency or force the wild to give him a huge contract at 29 years old.

The wild get their top player signed for a decent length. Seems like a reasonable middle ground.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

He's been great but it's been 1 season and not even a full season you can't pay him huge money based on less than 1 full season

Yes we can and should. The worst thing we could do is sign him to a 3 year bridge deal.

YUP. He’s only going to be this good or even better (I’m thinking he’s going to even be better as he learns the whole league)
So 9 million x 7 years would be fair.

 

[57special]

If Kaprizov bets on himself, why exactly would he accept anything less long-term? Panarin went from 2 year ELC > 2 x 6 mil > 7 x 11.6 mil.

If the Wild want to lock Kaprizov up long term, I don't see why he would take anything less. If there's a bridge and Kaprizov becomes a PPG+ player (which i'd be very surprised if he doesn't), he'd be asking ~$10 mil at the end of it.

I see what you're doing there, Avs fan.

Good luck telling him that he will go back to Russia

 

[Flash20]

Hopefully he's not one of those Russians that just try to get the big pay day and becomes Invisible..

I really like that guy hopefully he doesn't do that to the wild

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

8x8.5 plz

I don't know how real that threat would actually be, though it's definitely a fine line to walk in negotiations.

Grubauer 8x8.
Makar should take 8x11.
And Landeskog should not get less than a Finn...make it 8x9.5.

And that will make Mackinnon a VERY unhappy camper.

If I'm the GM I give him the money I don't play around with the dude he's played in the khl for 6 years I don't think he has a problem going back for 2 then going To the highest bidder in ufa after that

 

[PAZ]

I see what you're doing there, Avs fan.

I don't know as much as about the team or Kaprizov, granted. But he's played one season in Minnesota, usually that's not enough time for players to have a strong sense of loyalty to the club or to have put down roots where they're willing to take a discount. It just depends on if he's trying to maximize his earnings or not and if he's willing to bet on himself.

Would be 3 years I think. He'd be making ~1/3 of what he'd be making in the NHL for those 3 years and then he'd have to rely on teams being willing to hand out top dollar to a guy that had 56 NHL games 3 years ago. And the amount that it would have to be would have to be extremely high to make up for those 3 years. I'm not saying to go extremely lowball or anything, but I also don' think it's a blank check situation.

 

[P10p]

8 x 1.7m per. Following in his hero Ryan Hartman' footsteps.

 

[Beesfan]

Pastrnak's deal is a fair comp. He will get a bit more because he is UFA in two years. Six years, 7m aav.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Minnesota should get as many years as they can in the 7-8 million range. This kid is legit. Wild posters were high on him before he came over and the kid didn’t disappoint.

Many said Chiarelli screwed up the Draisaitl contract at the time giving him 8.5 x 8 it’s proven a great value contract. Minnesota should view this as a similar opportunity. Lock up young elite talent

Everyone in Minnesota would would jump on this in a second. Needing to go up in the 9’s or 10’s is what gets problematic.

 

[Sol]

6 years @ 5.5 per.

Terrible.

 

[Kojo]

They should give him an 8 years contract and he should take it.

 

[supsens]

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

Oof that’s a huge risk this season is funny and will have many outliers plus if you hand a person 64 million you better be sure he isn’t going to decide he isn’t hungry anymore.
Short bridge is the way to go

Short bridge for some unproven teenager, yes.
Methuselah is anything but that. He is more like Selanne, who was 22 when he came to the NHL.
You get what you see.
8 years should be the only way.

You have no idea how hard a guy will play after 160 games or how he will handle winning the NHL lotto being a target can wear you down. Why does it hurt them to sign him to a 1 or 2 year deal? What’s the rush
If he won’t give you UFA years he won’t give UFA years taking a huge long risk for no reason seems pointless

 

[Unspecified]

A flat cap is going to have an impact on players like this from getting large amounts. Admittedly I'm not cognizant of Minnesota's cap situation nor do i care honestly but it will be hard and interesting what teams do this off-season.

This guy gets it.
