Kaprisov has always wanted to be in the spotlight and pursue sponsorship income. He was doing ads for Great Clips in his rookie season. From his perspective he probably sees Minnesota as going nowhere and wants to be in the spotlight.
He should be careful what he asks for though. Minnesota has some other great players in Rossi, Boldy, and Buium. He may find himself in a worse position wherever he goes.
It would be nuts if him and McDavid were planning a Parise/Suter move and both demanded to sign for the same team. There's nothing to indicate this at all, but it would be funny.
