Kirill Kaprizov just became the highest paid player in NHL history. We break down his game, whether he’s worth the price tag & what it means for other pending free agents like Connor McDavid.

So – was this an overpay? Or did Minnesota make the right decision?
lol when your the most overpaid should be the title
Dude's never placed higher than 7th in Hart votes. Look at what Draisaitl, Marner, and Rantanen just got. This contract is a joke.
Just when you think maybe We'll be more than the first round exit this year, you realize that this is Parise/Suter part 2 and any hope for the next 10 years is gone.
Greedy lil fkr
This was awesome! You do great work, always appreciate the detail and how in-depth you go. Looking forward to following your recaps this season. Thanks!
it's chill guys this is our year
That's not a man, that's a little boy making more money than anyone should make playing children's games.
Bro nailed down an NHL25 franchise mode contract
He's Russian, he will just pack his bags if things don't work out. Like Ilya Kovalchuk.
McDavid signed less so the team can buy more players to surround him what a guy.
meanwhile Crosby sitting at $8.7m still.
Still won’t be as bad as those 13 year deals to Parise and Suter honestly. Kirill has his downsides but he’s easily the most talented player the Wild have ever had. When it comes to free agents, the Wild are not a real priority for anyone except guys that come from Minny.
I wouldn’t wish 8 years in Minnesota on my worst enemy.
Kaprizov
Hey hey hey, we don’t always lose first round. There was that one year that one time.
And this is why Wild will never win the Cup with KK. He is not McDavid elite and is not enough to carry the team.
people are gonna remember the stanley cup winners, not the highest paid in the league with no cups
worth 9 mil at the very MAX
Don't complain about not winning when your team doesn't have the money to bring in the pieces.
lmaooo i made 17m last month
Time to invest in some goons to protect him
McDavid probably licking his lips rn
Never heard of him till that day, honestly.
Мы русские смеемся над вашими комментариями. Все это было с Овечкиным, ждите кубок и наслаждайтесь игрой Кирилла.
Unless he is a generational talent the NHL just became the NBA players dictating wages instead of owners. ( not perfect but trust me better) he the new steph curry. Not everyone is. But they all try to be. 😂
Never will win a cup with that salary
paying this nonsense for gloryfied leafs player is wild…
Terrible signing. Set them back years. It's like they don't want to win.
5% to his agent, 40% taxes, not that impressive after all
Could get some nice depth if he took as much as mcdavid. People always like big deals because they are exciting but these deals are usually detrimental to teams.
Overpay by 5 mill/ year
But it's Minnesota so who cares they ain't making the playoffs
Man? He looks 11
