Kirill Kaprizov reportedly asked by Minnesota Wild for list of teams he would accept trade to amid contract negotiations

"Kirill Kaprizov and the Minnesota Wild could be headed their separate ways. After reportedly turning down a contract extension offer that would have made him the highest-paid player in NHL history, new developments have emerged on Thursday that the Wild have asked Kaprizov for a list of teams he would accept a trade to. Kaprizov is in the final year of his contract and holds a full no-movement clause, putting him in the driver's seat of a potential move."

"The offer he reportedly turned down from the Wild would have seen him make $128 million over the next eight seasons ($16 million AAV). The deal would have seen him paid $2 million more per season than the current holder of the title for highest-paid player, the Edmonton Oilers' Leon Draisaitl. The Oilers signed Draisaitl to an eight-year, $112 million extension ($14 million AAV) just over a year ago."
