Reportedly, Kaprizov is on his way to Minnesota. Kaprizov and the Wild are nearing completion of their deal, according to veteran KHL official Leonid Vaysfeld of Sports.ru.
"As far as I understand, there were no disagreements on the amount at all initially," said Vaysfeld in the report. "It's just that Minnesota wanted to sign a long-term contract for eight years at once, and Kirill wanted a shorter one, three years, so that he could enter the free agent market earlier. In the end, they found a compromise."
