He thought maybe 7 x 18 or 7 x 20.
so is this what Friedman means by “tampering”, offering him more than the allowed maximum annual salary (which is currently at 16.3)..?
HE not worth more than Drycycle

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.

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.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.

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.

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.
Maybe they are just waiting for the cap ceiling to be be officially called before signing.

I dont see many universe where Engstrom make the team this year… ?

he’s probably good enough for the NHL, but yeah it would take multiple injuries on the backend for him to get a spot right now.

solid prospect, will eventually be better than Struble and wifi imo. give him another half season in Laval. same for Reinbacher.

Unless 2 current D are moved out/seriously injured, do not see it.
I like what I saw in the Laval playoffs from him, and would like to see him get a few games in MTL this year.

I don’t see him becoming a top 4, but yeah I guess that’s possible, he’ll need to bring a very physical game to do so.
