** NHLRumors.com transcription
Bukauskas: “On Wednesday, the Kaprizov turned down an eight-year deal that will have paid him $16 million per season. Could be the biggest contract within the historical past of the Nationwide Hockey League. So the place do issues stand, Elliotte, between Kaprizov and the Minnesota Wild?”
Friedman: “I’m not going to reply that query first. I’m going to reply that query second.”
My first response on listening to he flip that down was, why? As a result of after I heard that that was going to be supplied, my perception was in that state of affairs, I type of talked about this with folks, you’re taking that supply as a result of it’s so large. You’ve it, it’s there, you by no means have to fret about something once more. And if it goes fallacious, then you definitely cope with it like.
NHL Rumors: Jack Eichel, and Rasmus Andersson
For instance, let’s simply say Kaprizov takes the deal and he’s in 12 months three of the extension, and say Minnesota shouldn’t be excellent and he doesn’t have hope, then you definitely say, ‘Look, guys, I need to commerce.’ That’s the way you deal with it. You’ve the cash in your pocket. You’ve this big deal in your pocket. And also you cope with the state of affairs if it turns into untenable.
So for him to say no, convinces me of 1 factor. Him or his representatives, his brokers Paul Theophanes, they know one thing else is on the market that’s larger. Now for a deal to be larger than eight occasions $16 million from the Wild, assuming this isn’t a signing commerce, there needs to be any individual on the market with a seven occasions $19 (million) or a seven occasions $20 (million). That there’s any individual on the market who’s organising smoke alerts saying we will do higher. That, to me, is the logical rationalization.”
Bukauskas: “I used to be informed there can be no tampering.”
Friedman: “It’s not tampering. It’s …”
Bukauskas: “Smoke alerts.”
Friedman: “Theorizing.”
Bukauskas: “Sure, that’s proper.”
Friedman: “There’s no tampering within the Nationwide Hockey League.”

Bukauskas: “Look over there.”
Friedman: “There may be, there is no such thing as a playing at Rick’s Cafe.”
Bukauskas: We had breakfast at Rick’s cafe.”
Friedman: “In order that’s my concept, that, like a golfer, any individual has licked their finger, put it within the air, and so they sense the way in which the wind or really feel the way in which the wind is blowing. There may be any individual on the market that’s keen to make a greater provide.
So now let’s go to your query. The place does it stand between the wild and Kaprizov? Properly, I believe primary, the wild have been somewhat bit stunned. I don’t assume there’s any doubt about that.
And I believe there’s nothing, to begin with, any individual stated to me, do you assume he needs a shorter time period deal? No, I don’t imagine that. I imply, I may all the time be fallacious. I’ve been fallacious earlier than, however I don’t imagine that. I believe that when you’ve gotten the damage historical past that Kirill Kaprizov has, I don’t assume you’re fascinated about a brief time period deal.
And I believe that’s really one of many greatest questions that the wild must reply right here, and that’s, how do they proceed? Are they keen to take a big gamble with a participant who has missed fairly just a few video games, or are they going to take a seat there and say, Properly, we’re going to up our provide?’

You realize, it’s going to be, I imply, it was already an enormous quantity. Are you keen to make it an excellent larger quantity? Or, and Kaprizov has a no commerce clause, do you go to him and say, ‘Are there groups you’d be keen to go to?’
Actually, these are the choices for Minnesota. They let it play out, see the place it goes. They up their provide, or they deal him. And I’m positive that on Wednesday, that’s what they have been doing. They have been operating by all of these eventualities.”
