After countless trade speculations and a deliberate back-and-forth between Kaprizov and the Minnesota Wild, the two parties have agreed on an NHL record-breaking eight-year, $17 million AAV contract. Since his introduction in the NHL in the 2020-21 season, Kaprizov has been among the top point producers in the league, with 386 points (185G / 201A) in 319 games. The 28-year-old superstar forward battled injuries last season and was limited to only 41 games, scoring 56 points (25G / 31A), and will hope to return to speed as one of the NHL's most productive players in the 2025-26 season.
