Kaprizov KHL Offer

[Blues_fan1000]

sounds like he has a massive offer on the table

"LeBrun is now confirming that the offer from CSKA is indeed a big one. This could be more than just a leverage play by the 24 year-old offensive star if he doesn’t get what he wants.
at this point, Kirill is only interested in a two year deal that will take him to UFA status at 27. Kaprizov fully believes he’s a 10 million plus type player. The Wild are trying to lock him up for a full 8 years, a deal he’s already rejected."

Isn't the salary cap in the KHL 13mill? I know it's Russia tho.

I've read that bonuses don't count against the KHL cap, I'm unsure if that is true. Also, it's 3 years until Kaprizov becomes UFA if I'm not mistaken

I saw 2 on twitter by an unverified account.

But also read on an article he can become a UFA after the 2023-24 season. So 3 seasons makes more sense than 2yrs.

smoke screen... no way he comes to NHL for one year and leaves....he just trying to put pressure on Mini.

i wouldnt be too floored if he was to go back to the KHL. i guess heres where we find out if hes about teh $$$ or the dream of being an NHL player

Let's simplify this.

CSKA has made a big offer because they want him back
CSKA is putting the pressure on Kaprizov
Kaprizov did not manufacture the CSKA offer

As a result of said offer, Kaprizov is left with a strong bargaining chip to bring to the table with Minny that most other RFA's in his position don't have.
The reality of said offer creates the pressure placed on Minny

Kaprizov's agent would be a fool if he then did not use this to negotiate a stronger deal in his client's favour.

This is a situation of circumstance created by CSKA - of which KK benefits from

He'll get what he wants from Minn. He had stated his goal for the past 2+ seasons was to come to the NHL and play in the best league in the world.
He's played in it, and played well, but does not strike me as a one and done player.

he turned down the 8 year deal because he wants a bridge deal - likely to avoid locking in during a flat cap & limiting his earnings.
Something north of Barzal's 3yrs 7mil is what I figure he'll end up with 3x8 would not surprise me.

hes a UFA in 3 seasons so a bridge deal would only be 2 seasons for him.

it is definitely trending towards him getting the 3-year deal that he wants if he has as much leverage as it seems he does....

Must be a fellow KK owner....he will stay with a bridge.

Even a 4 year deal to boost his AAV & lapse the huge buyouts of Suter/Parise wouldn't surprise me.
If I were him, this is what I would do.
There's a good chance he can win a cup in Minny. As good as going anywhere else as a UFA (If not better)
