Kirill Kaprizov has a tentative deal in place CSKA Moscow in the KHL. The tactic is to moved the needle in contract talks with the Minnesota Wild.
According to Frank Seravalli, there’s been no offer made since April. If a deal with the Wild can’t be reached by September 1, Kaprizov could be playing in Russia.
Although the deal is believed to be at least in the $10,000,000 range, many are not buying this as a legitimate threat.
