** NHLRumors.com transcription
Bukauskas: “On Wednesday, the Kaprizov turned down an eight-year deal that might have paid him $16 million per season. Can be the most important 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 once I heard that that was going to be provided, my perception was in that state of affairs, I type of talked about this with individuals, you’re taking that supply as a result of it’s so large. You’ve got it, you recognize it’s there, you by no means have to fret about something once more. And if it goes incorrect, then you definately 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 just isn’t superb and he doesn’t have hope, then you definately say, ‘Look, guys, I wish to commerce.’ That’s the way you deal with it. You’ve got the cash in your pocket. You’ve got this large 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 greater. Now for a deal to be greater than eight instances $16 million from the Wild, assuming this isn’t a signing commerce, there must be anyone on the market with a seven instances $19 (million) or a seven instances $20 (million). That there’s anyone on the market who’s organising smoke alerts saying we are able to do higher. That, to me, is the logical rationalization.”
Bukauskas: “I used to be advised there could 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 isn’t any playing at Rick’s Cafe.”
Bukauskas: We had breakfast at Rick’s cafe.”
Friedman: “In order that’s my principle, that, like a golfer, anyone has licked their finger, put it within the air, they usually sense the way in which the wind or really feel the way in which the wind is blowing. There may be anyone 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? Effectively, I feel primary, the wild had been slightly bit stunned. I don’t assume there’s any doubt about that.
And I feel there’s nothing, to start with, anyone mentioned to me, do you assume he desires a shorter time period deal? No, I don’t imagine that. I imply, I might all the time be incorrect. I’ve been incorrect earlier than, however I don’t imagine that. I feel that when you may have the harm historical past that Kirill Kaprizov has, I don’t assume you’re thinking about a brief time period deal.
And I feel that’s really one of many greatest questions that the wild should reply right here, and that’s, how do they proceed? Are they keen to take a bet with a participant who has missed fairly a couple of video games, or are they going to sit down there and say, Effectively, we’re going to up our provide?’

You understand, it’s going to be, I imply, it was already an enormous quantity. Are you keen to make it a fair greater 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 certain that on Wednesday, that’s what they had been doing. They had been working by means of all of these situations.”
