Jim Biringer: “I imply, all reviews point out they’re not shut on a brand new extension. However I do consider Kirill Kaprizov goes to get $15 million. That he’s going to get greater than Leon Draisaitl, and he deserves it. He might get extra. He might get greater than 15. Proper? 15.5. May he get 16? That will be a tough capsule to swallow for Minnesota.

I imply, it doesn’t assist the Wild’s negotiation energy proper now, when the GM and the proprietor come out and say, Hey, we’re going to pay him no matter he desires, like we are able to simply match no matter he desires. No matter he desires, we’re going to offer him.

Invoice Guerin desires to go long-term with him. He desires to go eight years. He in all probability ought to have performed eight years final time. He didn’t get it performed. He’s going to wish to push for eight years. However as we talked about earlier, with the rising cap and gamers realizing what their value is and the comparables on the market. Different guys setting the market, you’re not going to wish to have the most effective worth contract anymore, you’re going to receives a commission for what you’re value is and I believe a man like Kaprizov might be going to go brief time period once more with the Wild.”
