Breaking now... The Minnesota Wild have gotten their man... With the biggest signing in NHL history Karill Kaprisov has signed an 8 year $136M contract...Yes that is $17M per. And that is a commitment by the Wild organization for a player who is completely beloved among Wild staff, players, and fans...
There was a very real possibility that Kaprisov could have gone to free agency, but Craig Leopold, one of the NHL's best/fan friendly owners was saying for years we will beat any price...and he kept his word...
The question now is how does this affect the many other star UFA's to be this summer?
What are your thoughts on this deal?
