HE not worth more than Drycycle
For sure, I would rather have Drysocket than Kaprisov on my team.
But the reality is, Kaprisov has a uniquely high value specifically for the Wild.
They have been in cap hell for years from the Suter/Parise buyouts.
The last time they were able to draw top free agents was by massively overpaying Parise and Suter.
They are unlikely to win in any situation where he leaves the team.“Damned if they do, damned if they don’t” might be the Wild situation right now.
I do not believe that is the correct max player contract for Kaprisov.
Max player salary is 20% of the cap (unless I missed a change to that rule?)
Kaprisov is already signed for this season.Max salary for a player contract starting next season for Kaprisov (with salary cap over $100mm) will be slightly over $20mm.
Unless you sign/extend him *before* the ’26/27 cap is officially declared, then maybe this years cap ($95.5mm team / $19.1mm player) might apply?Either way, if we are going down the tinfoil hat / tampering rabbit hole, “some nefarious team” could let him know that $20 is waiting.
Personally I doubt it, but hey, speculation is where we’re at right now.yeah, I’m definitely far from being a capologist, so this is definitely out of my wheelhouse loll.
you’re right, next year the max cap hit per player will be more than 17.6, it just hasn’t been set yet because we don’t know what the official salary cap ceiling will be…
anyway, he’s a good player but I’m not sure he’s worth these insane numbers that are being speculated, but hey, it’s a new cap world I guess.
Max salary for a player contract starting next season for Kaprisov (with salary cap over $100mm) will be slightly over $20mm.
Maybe they are just waiting for the cap ceiling to be be officially called before signing.
Mo’ cap, mo’ money.
so is this what Friedman means by “tampering”, offering him more than the allowed maximum annual salary (which is currently at 17.6)..?

that’s why in a way I was thinking Kaprisov was doing the wild a favor by turning the deal down, in a few years they might’ve regretted it.
He thought maybe 7 x 18 or 7 x 20.

100 %
and I was partially playing
but…
it really sucks for the fans
oh definitely, can’t imagine if a star player drafted by the habs refused a ton of money like that, fans in Minnesota have the right to be pissed.
re: Kaprisov
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 whispering 7 x 16.
Friedman mentioned that he did not think Kaprisov was looking for a shorter deal like the McDavid speculation. (he 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 !

yeah, I think it’s being overblown because of how big the offer he refused was, while in reality the greedy thing to do would’ve been to sign, take the money and then whine later about wanting out lol…
