Overview

• Kirill Kaprizov is a full participant in Minnesota’s training camp and reiterated he enjoys playing in the Twin Cities, calling it his second home.
• There is no announced extension after a reported rejection of an eight-year, $128 million offer, leaving him entering his contract’s final season without a new deal.
• Agent Paul Theofanous made an unannounced visit to camp for a lengthy conversation with a team hockey operations staffer, but neither side is disclosing progress.
• General manager Bill Guerin says talks are being kept private and re-signing Kaprizov remains the priority, while TSN’s Pierre LeBrun reported recent discussions were “not cordial” and that the Wild had not engaged in trade talks.
• Media proposals have outlined speculative blockbuster packages, including a Rangers scenario featuring Alexis Lafreniere and picks and a Blackhawks concept with Teuvo Teravainen, prospect Oliver Moore and a pick.
