He’ll end up traded and extending for less with a team of his choosing.
Regarding the money: No way any team opens the vault with a potential McDavid sweepstakes on the horizon. No way. The only teams likely to want to pay what the Wild offered are teams at the Wild’s level, or worse. Teams McD would not consider.
Regarding his impact: I can't think of a single legit contender that really needs a player like KK - they all have the regular season firepower players. What those teams are looking for is an answer to Tkachuk/Bennett/Marchand in the playoffs, KK doesn’t help with that at all.
