Used to be you wouldn't give out these deals after 1 season. But things have changed. Some thought the Wild were nuts for giving Kaprizov his deal, it's worked out pretty well. Boldy and Erikson-Ek look like those might work out too.
There is risk that he could regress a bit like Chabot. But you likely are better off to bet on players in this age range than sign UFA age guys. Is he going g to be like a Vanek or Chabot...or will he progress like Makar and Hughes? We'll find out. I think its probably a bet worth making for the Wild as I think they're largely out of the Parise and Suter buyout mess when this deal starts as each guy will only be a 833k bogey starting next year.
