Kaprizov’s megadeal sets a new floor for elite wingers, and the Kings’ slow-burn on Adrian Kempe’s extension signals patience can pay. Kempe could land around $11M AAV, with both sides comfortable delaying into the season. The scaling market lifts wings like Tuch, Eichel and Connor, and even Detroit’s Ken Holland could factor into the tempo. For fantasy, Kempe’s status away from an early extension becomes a bellwether for pricing and risk as cap-heavy teams chase top wings.
