Kaprizov has one-year deal in place with CSKA to start Sep 1 if no NHL deal reached

Give this guy credit. He knows how to use leverage. Going to paid no matter how this goes.

Going to the KHL is his only leverage because he can't sign an offer sheet and isn't arbitration eligible.
Similar to Gaudreau's 2nd contract except Gaudreau never really expressed any interest playing in Europe.

Well, if the salary figure really is 8 figures USD, then it seems like legitimate leverage. The Wild aren't going to give him that much.

Not to mention, I believe they dont pay taxes on hockey earnings in Russia.
Its usually to make up for being paid in sacks of coins, if you get paid, and carted off the ice on tarps to a Soviet-Era medical facility.
But still, if he's got that deal on the table the Wild are going to be over a barrel.

Doubtful it is that high. These were the KHL's highest salaries last season:

There is a tax difference, but according to the information available for KHL salaries, a 8 figure USD contract would make Kaprizov the highest paid player in the KHL by a wide margin.

I kinda feel for the Wild on this one. They're a very Calgary sort of team that is never terrible but never great, and they only rarely seem to experiene any success in attracting free agents. Probably not the most attractive destination for anyone right now.
Like they Flames, they're the team left over in your fantasy draft where you say "oh yeah, I guess I'll take that guy."

Well, okay, if they're just straight up lying then presumably the Wild will find that out. I don't know why they'd bother saying that if it wasn't true. I seem to remember Radulov making big money over there.

I like the drama and I think it’s good for the game if there was a legitimate 2nd option for high end guys to play pro.
The NHL monopoly isn’t good for fans. Just owners.

Also the KHL hard salary cap was 900 million rubbles or ~$13 million USD for the 2020/21 season.
Don't know how any team would fit an 8 figure USD contract unless the payment was under the table from one of the super rich teams.

That’s a whole bunch of leverage.

I think you just answered your question there.

The used to have that a Russian born star player exception but it was supposedly abolished a few years ago.
Who knows, though one word from Putin and maybe it gets reinstated.

Kaprizov didn't want term, Wild want term. Kaprizov has an out , he's gonna use it if they don't want to play ball and take some years off the offer.
I dont see the issue here other than Minnesota being incredibly stupid not budging on this.
Ppl hate on NCAA players for using their right to not sign with the team that drafted them , same thing here. He has all 9f the leverage.

I'd have a hard time re-signing in Minnesota when about 1/5 of your cap in the future is going to be stashed away in dead space.
Best move, imo for Minnesota, is selling Kaprizov high. It definitely makes sense to retain your star player, but at the same time I feel like BG has set up the Wild to be rebuilding pronto.

So they should just sign him at an inflated rate and short term cause thats what he wants or be considered "stupid"?
I know what i would consider stupid...giving in to such demands.
He wants to play in Moscow....let him.
He wants to play in the best league in the world? Then he does it on the teams terms and negotiates a fair deal for both sides like every other guy.
