Kaprizov isn't necessarily after a big contract right now. He wants UFA status as soon as possible and the ability to pick where he plays.
It's really no different then the Panarin-Columbus situation, except that the Wild are playing hardball and turning it into a media spectacle.
If the Wild offered him $6-7M/yr on a two year deal, it probably would have been a done deal weeks ago.
