This is like kind of a minor issue but title should be 136 million/8 years. If you wanted to show how much a year it should be 17 million x 8 years or 8 years * 17 million.
/ denotes division, x or * denotes multiplication. The way it reads now is that he gets 0.47 years per million dollars (which isnt even true it should be 0.059 year per million dollars, which means nothing to nobody anyway)
he's wayyy overpaid for someone who's got nothing to show! (hardware wise) & on a team who'll never win a cup 🤷♂️
Im not paying these ticket prices.
Insane overpayment.
They obviously learned nothing from the Suter Parise contracts. This contract is going to age like milk. They should have traded him like the Nordiques did with Lindros. The avs became a 2 time cup winner because of that trade. The wild made a huge mistake. 17 mil a year…what a joke. They obv don't have any intention of making it past the 1st round in the next decade.
lost a lot of respect for him today. why was 8×16 not enough?
Bad signing putting the salary cap out of wack
Leafs signed Tavares knies and stolarz for less than 16 million
Well wild won’t win a cup anytime soon now lol
So this guy is comparable to nick suzuki, yet takes twice the salary? He doesnt want the team to succeed, he doesnt want the fans to see a cup. He's payed 20% of the damn cap.. unbelievable
Dam talk about signing a anti cup contract, and on top of that for a player who no offence to him but a player i wouldn’t even consider a top 15 player
Massive, massive overpayment
Kirill Kaprizpv 17 M$ x 8 yrs or Nick Suzuki 7 875 000$ + Cole Caufield 7 825 000$ + change x 8 yrs
I felt the groans Minnesota Wild fans felt. They’re not winning the cup anytime soon.
He is Minnesota's star. The team had to sign him.
People forget he was the leading Hart candidate up until December, the Wild had no choice, if Minny wants to compete and draw top end talent Kaprisov had to be signed .
Kaprizov reminds me of another Wild winger that was injured all the time, Gaborik.
I feel bad for Wild fans. They deserve a star like Kaprizov but it sucks that he has handcuffed the organization. Good luck building a good team around him.
such a stupid contract , wild wont win a cup with him
Draisaitl is a Mcdavid merchant
When was the last time that the highest paid player in the league won the Stanley Cup?
It seems like Nathan MacKinnon is grossly under paid now. When you you compare their numbers it's just insane.
His contract also has a $18M bonus each year just for existing right?
Not just Kaprizov, but all superstars in the NHL. You're already a multimillionaire, why wouldn't you take a cap friendly contract for a better chance at making the history books? Is your Ferrari better than hoisting The Cup? If I were Kaprizov, I would have taken 8yrs at $12 million so they could surround me with talent, especially a #1 center. Teams don't win a cup with a center like Rossi.
I mean he’s good, but not 17m good
The Wild are insane giving this guy that much money.
What a joke
Florida contracts keep looking better lol
So what is Bedard, Fantilli and the like going to get 😂
There's a lot of people in these comments and comments across the internet who have no idea that the cap will consistently go up. In 2 years this contract will look pretty standard for players of this caliber. I foresee some contract restructuring for some of those big names listed in this video who signed recently for much less.
HUGE Wild fan here… I truly don't know what to think here 😂
Kap is a beast… but DAMN thats a whole lotta 💵💵💵
I'd go so far and say, not even McDavid is worth that much.
So Montreal with Suzuki at 7,8 mil for 5 more years, Caufield at 7,8mil for 6 more years and slavkovsky at 7,6 mil for 8 years. Those are looking better and better.
17 mil for Kaprisov is too much. Suzuki or Stutzle in Ottawa have more points then him in their last 3 years and both earn less then half. Makes no sense.
Sadly no Canadian team will ever win the cup again. The NHL is an American league and has been ever since Bettman took over in 94. He allows them to go to the finals every few years but never two Canadian teams EVER. THIRTY ONE YEARS IS NOT A CONSPIRACY. He really wants McDavid and Matthews to play for American teams so they probably figured out by now that they will never win a Stanley Cup playing for a Canadian team. He was hired by the owners to increase revenue for the American teams and to keep the cup in the US which he has lived up to. Anyone who disagrees is naive – The NHL is an American league first and foremost. Prove me wrong!!!!
Makar will be the next highest paid player after McDavid
Suter and parise says hi.
It's a boy!
Feels like the same type of cap-room crushing deal Wild made with Parise and Suter last decade when the salary cap was only at between 50-60 million or just above 60.
Bill Guerin is out of his mind.
You get paid or you get championships. You never really get both (simultaneously).
Wild lose every year so this makes no difference at all whatsoever. LOSER
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this many idiøts gathered in one comment section
I'm not sure that the Wild learned the lesson they just came crawling out of…
Pastrnak makes 11.25 million for the next 6 seasons.. keep that in mind..
R.I.P Wild's chances of winning a cup in the next 8 years
The wild suck this is a bad deal they will be bad forever
Doubtful Wild see a cup out of this though. 👀
Yeah…that contract is going to age well…(sarcasm, to be clear)
What a huge overpay of desperation
friedman said there was definitely tampering and a team was in his ear saying we’ll give you 7×20 if you go to free agency. if that’s true then kaprizov took 4 million less to stay in minnesota
kaprizov is putting up these numbers with no help. kucherov, mcdavid, drai, and mackinnon have other superstars. kaprizov is a one man show
