He's likely still 2 years away.
When are we expected to see this guy in the NHL? Is it worth putting a waiver claim on him? He just showed up on the ESPN league. Looking at my team below, who is droppable for him?
----------
20 Team Franchise Head to Head League. The stats are G, A, P, Plus/Minus, PPP, SHP, PIM, SOG, GWG, Hit, Blocked Shots, Faceoff Won, and Defense Points for players....And for Goalies it's GS, W, L, GA, GAA, Saves, SV%. Minutes Played, SHO.
Starting Lineup (2 C's, 2 LW, 2 RW, 4 D, 1 Util, and 1 Goalie)
C - Point, Eichel
LW - Parise, Ehlers
RW - Perry, J. Carter
D - Shattenkirk, Karlsson, Provorov, Werenski

G - Rinne, Lundqvist (can only start 1 every night...2 Starts Minimum and 5 Max for the week)
Bench - Marner (C, RW), Fabbri (C, LW), Barkov (C)
IR - Reimer, Malkin
He's likely still 2 years away.
Likely won't see him until the 2018-2019 regular season (might come over early after next KHL season if MIN make playoffs). Anticipate similar impact/progression as Kuznetsov when he came over.

Nobody is droppable for him, this year...or next year, or likely the year after that either.
Apparently Kaprizov is moving to CSKA Moskva team for next season. CSKA is one of two elite teams in the KHL (just won the regular season), so yeah, the NHL playoffs in 2018 is the earliest he could join Minnesota because CSKA is more than likely to go far in KHL playoffs next year as well. But at least the article confirmed that his current contract ends in April 2018. Google translated article below.
I love these translated articles. "Vagaries of the ocean". I also love how in Russia you can get team sponsors involved in trades. Only in Russia.As the "SE", attacking "Salavat Yulaev" and the Russian national team Kirill vagaries in the offseason enters CSKA . The agreement in principle on the transfer has already been achieved: according to our information, it has become possible, including through partnerships between sponsors of the two clubs. The company "Rosneft", which is financed by the Moscow team in October 2016 acquired a controlling stake "Bashneft" - sponsor of "Salavat Yulaev".
Note that the 19-year-old striker was top scorer of the last World Youth Championship (12 (9 + 3) points in 7 games), and in early February, made a successful debut for the adult team at the Swedish games hat-trick in the match against the tournament hosts. Moods moved to "Salavat Yulaev" in the summer of last year for compensation, which, according to the "SE", made about 80 million rubles. This season, Cyril spent the Ufa club 49 matches and scored 42 (20 +22) points. Recall that the vagaries of the ocean was drafted in 2015 "Minnesota" under the 135-th number and a valid contract with the hockey players, "Salavat Yulaev" ends in April 2018. (Division hockey)
