Kirill Kaprizov reportedly rejected an eight-year, $16 million cap-hit offer, aiming for about $18–$19 million per year (roughly 20% of the cap) with a no-movement clause. The Wild insist talks are ongoing and won’t publicly air trade interests. The cap trajectory could rise toward $170 million in coming years, potentially normalizing long-term deals. Potential suitors include the New York Rangers, Carolina Hurricanes, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Chicago Blackhawks.
