A best case scenario is that he is everything he was promised to be in his rookie season and immediately signs a lucrative deal on his 2nd contract after playing only 1 season on his elc.
Good for you little manCasperX22 wroteCOLONI'd take any of the top 6 players in this draft over Kaprizov. And no Holtz is not one of those 6 players. I do think it's silly to think Kaprizov is less risky than a top pick in this draft though given the gymnastics Minnesota has had to go through getting him to NA.

There is zero chance they get away with not bending to his demands bc he can just go back to Russia and be the highest paid player in the KHL. Kaprizov holds all the leverage in that relationship.Loki wroteCOLONThere may be a better chance of his extension being cheap given that the cap is going to be flat for a while, but they'll probably have to pay him well to keep him around or he could just go back to the KHL and get paid. Sounds like the plan is to sign his 2 year ELC now and burn one year immediately.
Yeah I think you're right on that, it's taken so much to get him to the NHL (and he's not even here yet), and they have a lot of money coming off the books after next season, I'd be shocked if they didn't back up the truck for him. The only way I could see them not doing it is if he bombs.CasperX22 wroteCOLONThere is zero chance they get away with not bending to his demands bc he can just go back to Russia and be the highest paid player in the KHL.
