The Minnesota Wild are heading into a crucial offseason with a franchise-altering decision looming: re-signing star forward Kirill Kaprizov. General Manager Bill Guerin explicitly stated that securing an eight-year extension for Kaprizov, who is entering the final year of his current contract, is the team's top priority. Kaprizov, who had an impressive 56 points despite battling injuries last season, expressed his fondness for Minnesota, emphasizing the comfort he feels in the city and with the team. His performance since being drafted in 2015 has been stellar, with 386 points in 319 games. With the Wild poised to offer the most lucrative deal, both sides seem optimistic about reaching an agreement soon.
