Daria Tuboltseva: Russian journalist Alexei Shevchenko stated the Minnesota Wild have requested Kirill Kaprizov for a commerce record.
Cam Robinson: Sources have stated that it is likely to be a bit untimely to say that the Minnesota Wild have requested Kaprizov for an inventory of groups. Marco D’Amico: “Of observe, Kaprizov has a full NMC, so this might be a request for an inventory of groups he’d entertain a commerce to. Earlier at this time, Eliotte Friedman mentioned the opportunity of one other workforce keen to supply Kaprizov massive cash. Schevkenko is taken into account a legit supply in Russia.” Jim Biringer: “Sooner or later this may happen if these discussions drag into the season & it’s clear he doesn’t wish to lengthen & keep then Minnesota ought to commerce him & not let him stroll just like Gaborik.

Bukauskas: “On Wednesday, the Kaprizov turned down an eight-year deal that will have paid him $16 million per season. Can be the biggest contract within the historical past of the Nationwide Hockey League. So the place do issues stand, Elliotte, between Kaprizov and the Minnesota Wild?”
Friedman: “I’m not going to reply that query first. I’m going to reply that query second.”
My first response on listening to he flip that down was, why? As a result of once I heard that that was going to be supplied, my perception was in that scenario, I form of talked about this with folks, you’re taking that provide as a result of it’s so massive. You could have it, you recognize it’s there, you by no means have to fret about something once more. And if it goes fallacious, then you definately cope with it like.

For instance, let’s simply say Kaprizov takes the deal and he’s in 12 months three of the extension, and say Minnesota just isn’t superb and he doesn’t have hope, then you definately say, ‘Look, guys, I wish to commerce.’ That’s the way you deal with it. You could have the cash in your pocket. You could have this enormous deal in your pocket. And also you cope with the scenario if it turns into untenable.
So for him to say no, convinces me of 1 factor. Him or his representatives, his brokers Paul Theophanes, they know one thing else is on the market that’s larger. Now for a deal to be larger than eight occasions $16 million from the Wild, assuming this isn’t a signing commerce, there needs to be any person on the market with a seven occasions $19 (million) or a seven occasions $20 (million). That there’s any person on the market who’s organising smoke indicators saying we are able to do higher. That, to me, is the logical clarification.”
Bukauskas: “I used to be instructed there could be no tampering.”
Friedman: “It’s not tampering. It’s …”
Bukauskas: “Smoke indicators.”
Friedman: “Theorizing.”
Bukauskas: “Sure, that’s proper.”
Friedman: “There’s no tampering within the Nationwide Hockey League.”

Bukauskas: “Look over there.”
Friedman: “There may be, there is no such thing as a playing at Rick’s Cafe.”
Bukauskas: We had breakfast at Rick’s cafe.”
Friedman: “In order that’s my concept, that, like a golfer, any person has licked their finger, put it within the air, and so they sense the best way the wind or really feel the best way the wind is blowing. There may be any person on the market that’s keen to make a greater supply.
So now let’s go to your query. The place does it stand between the wild and Kaprizov? Properly, I feel primary, the wild have been a bit bit shocked. I don’t assume there’s any doubt about that.
And I feel there’s nothing, initially, any person stated to me, do you assume he needs a shorter time period deal? No, I don’t consider that. I imply, I might all the time be fallacious. I’ve been fallacious earlier than, however I don’t consider that. I feel that when you could have the damage historical past that Kirill Kaprizov has, I don’t assume you’re excited about a brief time period deal.
And I feel that’s really one of many largest questions that the wild need to reply right here, and that’s, how do they proceed? Are they keen to take of venture with a participant who has missed fairly just a few video games, or are they going to sit down there and say, Properly, we’re going to up our supply?’

, it’s going to be, I imply, it was already an enormous quantity. Are you keen to make it a good larger quantity? Or, and Kaprizov has a no commerce clause, do you go to him and say, ‘Are there groups you’d be keen to go to?’
Actually, these are the choices for Minnesota. They let it play out, see the place it goes. They up their supply, or they deal him. And I’m positive that on Wednesday, that’s what they have been doing. They have been operating by all of these eventualities.”
