We were talking about Kaprizov not too long ago and what his intentions may be.

Congrats to @30ranfordfan for calling it, on the nose.

And I quote:

He wants a 3 year deal, so he hit UFA status earlier. Wild want to sign him to a 7 or 8 year deal (for big money). They'll probably end up settling on 5...... in the 9m range.

I'm not always right, but nice to see it happens once in a while :)

It was entirely predictable though. That's as low as Minnesota could reasonably go in term, while still offering him big money.

He'll be able to hit UFA at the same time as McDavid, despite playing 5 fewer seasons (and being drafted the same year)

Good on the young man for turning one season of hockey into "set for life" money.
