Wild trade Willie Eklund, Stian Solberg and Nate Danielson for Kaprizov and some $$$.
A steep price, but I wanted to bring in a top line winger and felt if I didn't, that would be the weak spot on my team. Kaprizov is signed for 3 years, and likely is the type of UFA you could grid when he comes up for his next contract, with very little risk.
I actually drafted Kaprizov way back then but I think released him for nothing, as at the time he was just a late draft pick. I think Jon signed him as a free agent and the rest is history.
Thx to simmer for the deal.
