Michael Russo of The Athletic: The Minnesota Wild’s training camp opens next Thursday and RFA Kirill Kaprizov is still without a contract. Wild GM Bill Guerin has said all offseason that “these things take time.”
Guerin said yesterday that “there are gonna be some obstacles.”
At this point it’s looking like Kaprizov won’t be with the team at the start of training camp. If he were to sign right away, he’d still need to go through the work visa process, do the COVID testing and quarantine for a week.
