For my yearly prediction:
Kaprizov will be a Ranger at some point this season, and extended
If we’re in the playoffs at TDL I can see him coming here due to bread, igor, etc as they’re rumored friends. If he’s getting extended it means bread and LAF are gone, unless we can get bread to sign an extension for $5mil which I don’t know would happen.
Or can Drury pull a rabbit out of his hat and turn Mika into Kiril?
I would think Laf would go in a trade for him.
And I think Panarin is only re-signed under the rangers terms. Like a take it or leave it thing and he might take it. Something like 3 x 5 AAV like you said
