Overview

  • Minnesota is telling interested clubs it is not entertaining offers for Kirill Kaprizov and has not asked for any trade list, with the winger holding a full no-move clause.
  • The rejected eight-year, $128 million extension remains available, and insiders describe the negotiations between GM Bill Guerin and agent Paul Theofanous as edgy.
  • At the first day of camp, Guerin said talks are private and reiterated the intent to keep Kaprizov, while the player said he is focused on hockey and likes being in Minnesota.
  • Speculation about potential suitors continues, with reporters pointing to the Hurricanes as a motivated pursuer and circulating hypothetical packages centered on Andrei Svechnikov, which remain unconfirmed scenarios.
  • Kaprizov enters the final season of his five-year, $45 million deal and could reach unrestricted free agency in 2026, with rising cap projections and other star negotiations shaping the price and timing.
