I would not sign Knight early, goalies are a fickle group. I would just let the season play out and see how he handles himself over the course of the year.
I actually believe Knight is better than Wolf but most likely won’t be statistically for a couple more years until the defense around him gets better with more experience.
Agreed and it’s best for both parties. Knight bets on himself and Kyle can avoid the chance of signing a pumpkin before Knight plays his first full season. Win-Win.
I don’t see Kaprizov leaving the Wild either. As for Davidson, he’s staying patient — likely until the trade deadline — and then looking at UFAs next summer. My own target would be Kyle Connor.
You don’t see him leaving the Wild even though he just turned down $16 mil AAV?

I wouldn’t get my hopes up that he’ll wind up in Chicago.
Neither will I.
New 32 Thoughts Podcast came out and Friedman is speculating that someone has tampered and whispered big money to his people.
He thought maybe 7 x 18 or 7 x 20.
What he did *not* mention (my own speculation) is that it could be a no-tax State offering 7 x 16, which is more money than Minnesota.
Friedman said that he did not think Kaprisov was angling for a shorter deal like the McDavid speculation. (said he might be wrong about that though)
Kaprisov’s injury history was brought up as being another factor in trying to navigate the whole process for both sides.RAMPANT SPECULATION BABY ! WE ARE SO BACK, LETS GO !

It is funny bringing up Kiprisov’s comment of wanting to play with Bedard from a year or so ago. With one guy I was talking with a couple of months ago I said if he doesn’t sign by Sept 1 and the owner says something, he’s gone. I was just messing with him, but things got hilarious when Leopold said things were close.
GM Bill Guerin speaks on Kaprizov contract – “I know two things, that info didn’t come from us and it didn’t come from Kirill’s agent, I don’t know where it came from.
I just read Kroll Kaprizov turned down 16 million a year. Heard that they are still negotiating. I just read other posts, so not breaking news.
If all three goalies, four if you count Commesso are still around at the start of the season I see a revolving IR door until KD unloads Soderblom or Brossoit.
Commesso is their AHL goalie.
If the other 3 are all healthy, then (as Frenchy mentioned) they can just roster all 3 while they figure it out.13F

3GIt’s unusual, but they would make the cap floor with room to spare. (Weber contract goes on IR in this scenario)
I don’t see Kaprizov leaving the Wild either. As for Davidson, he’s staying patient — likely until the trade deadline — and then looking at UFAs next summer. My own target would be Kyle Connor. If Brossoit is healthy, they could carry three goalies for a few weeks before a trade, or even loan him to the AHL on a conditioning stint.
