Kirill Kaprizov has been all over the news these past couple of days, as it was recently reported that the superstar forward rejected a record-breaking contract offer from the Minnesota Wild.
This noise was only amplified earlier today when reports emerged that teams were supposedly willing to go as high as $20 million a year with Kaprizov.
Per New Reports, the Minnesota Wild Have Asked Kirill Kaprizov for a Trade List
According to a new report by well-respected Russian journalist Alexei Shevchenko, the Wild have asked the face of their franchise to submit a list of teams he would be willing to accept a trade to.
Per journalist Alexei Shevchenko, the Wild have asked Kirill Kaprizov for his trade list.
This would confirm reports that Kaprizov and the Wild have been unable to find common ground in contract negotiations thus far, making a trade the most likely course of action at this point.
No Move Clause a Hold Up in Trade Talks
While it may seem straightforward enough that the Wild should trade Kaprizov before he becomes a free-agent at the end of the 2025-26 season, his no-movement clause may prove to make that difficult.
Of note, Kaprizov has a full NMC, so this would be a request for a list of teams he'd entertain a trade to.
Kaprizov's NMC is a full list, which means in order to be traded anywhere, Kaprizov would have to approve of it first. It'll be interesting to see where the Russian phenom ends, if anywhere. We'll be following this situation closely, so stay tuned for any updates regarding the Kaprizov situation.
Update
Per insider Cam Robinson, these reports may not be false, but may be 'premature'. This will be an interesting file to follow.
