On September 11th, Kirill Kaprizov reportedly turned down an 8-year, $128 million contract extension with the Minnesota Wild — the largest contract offer in NHL history. With rumors swirling of teams potentially willing to pay $18–20M per year, the Wild now face a tough question: what if Kaprizov won’t re-sign?
In this video, I break down 8 potential trade packages for Kaprizov, starting with the least likely scenarios and ending with the most realistic fit. I compare these trades to the Jack Eichel blockbuster and dive into cap situations, roster fits, and how each move could reshape both teams.
🏒 Trade Packages Include:
Toronto Maple Leafs
New Jersey Devils
Los Angeles Kings
New York Rangers
Montreal Canadiens
Columbus Blue Jackets
Carolina Hurricanes
Anaheim Ducks
Do I think Kaprizov actually gets traded? Probably not. But if he did, these are the kinds of deals that could make sense.

Ducks trade is awesome
You are way off, MN to get way more
Send him packing! Who cares where. He’s poison to the team.
Your trades are nowhere close to what is needed compensation for Kirill. Not going to happen, any of them.
This is the first time ever that I learned more from the Ads than the actual video. Every trade was ridiculous and I hate the Wild, but come on!
