The wild, caprizov “works through things” in a new deal, says GM says

Minnesota Wild General Manager Bill Guerin said he did not want to “completely panic” among the team fans after the starry wing Kirill Kaprizov Answered the NHL extension agreement was rejected by the Record Agreements on this week.

The capricule was in the last year of five years, $ 45 million in the contract, which carries a clause without movement. The next summer can become an unlimited free agent. The wild offered an eight-year extension of the $ 128 million worth that Caprisov and his agent were signed out on Tuesday, according to the NHL Reporter Frank Seravalli.

In order to make the average annual value of $ 16 million more than 2 million dollars more than that Edmonton Oilers center Leon DraisaitlContract contract, which currently has the highest AAV in the NHL. The total value of the contract would surpass a 13-year, a $ 124 million agreement signed by Alex Ovechkin with CAPITALS FOR WASHINGTON 2008, which remains the richest in NHL history.

Speaking on “10,000 takes” show on Wednesday night, Guerin said he was not sure how this information went public.

“My role of the general manager is to protect our players,” he said. “I know two things. That information didn’t come from Kirill’s agent. We don’t have a very good relationship. We’re doing through things. We won’t actually actually let things go.”

Caprisov was an insulting force for Minnesota, because it was reached by NHL from Russia in 2020. years. It has 386 points in 319 in career careers with wild, piercing the 40-goal brand three times in five seasons. He scored 25 goals last season in 41 stations, which was shortened by injuries.

Kaprizov’s agent, Paul Theofanous, did not answer the comment request immediately.

The report that Kaprizov rejected the extension sent to Shockquaves through the hockey world – and especially the wilderness base of the fans – about his long-term future with a franchise.

“I don’t want our market to enter all in Panic here,” Guerin said. “My most important is Kirill and I don’t put it into a bad place. We love him. He is a wonderful guy. He is an amazing player. And we want him.”

Guerin said “10,000 takes” to believe that they are wild “to a really positive place with Kiril” and that conversations will continue.
