Digger Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) Frank Seravalli Twitter Update: Hearing Kirill Kaprizov has a tentative agreement in place with CSKA Moscow on a one-year, 8-figure deal ($USD) to begin on Sept. 1 - should a new contract not materialize with #mnwild. However, the Wild appear ready and willing to talk a medium-term length deal. Initial hang-up was MIN was only interested in a 7 or 8-year deal for the Calder Trophy winner. That’s not the case. Bunch of options in term. But the Kaprizov camp contends there has been no offer made since April. We’ll see where this goes, two sides remain in communication.

So if you sign a big contract, and the owner falls on financial hardship, there is little legal recourse for the player to get his money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article you linked says Kaprizov has a KHL contract agreed to at over $1M, which makes sense. Seravalli’s tweet then says 8 figures, which is at least $10M. Maybe Seravalli can’t count real goodly? KHL salary cap for 2020-21 season was $14.4M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
