Wild's Kirill Kaprizov Turns Down 8 Years / $128 Mil

[moose-and-squirrel]

I would rather have players signed and happy than one “superstar” holding the team hostage

So in other words, you would prefer to be held hostage by a happy Buchnevich for 8 years, than a sad Kirill for a month.

Yes

held hostage.. lolz

I mean hostage isn't that far off.

Minnesota is essentially stuck in limbo with him. Everyday he doesn't sign is a day his value decreases or they are unsure of what to do with him.

If he is there at the trade deadline, they likely get a decent return, but imagine both him and McDavid being on the trading block? It's an absolute possibility.

they are talking about Buch holding the Blues 'hostage' for the length of his contract.. ridiculous, but considering the source...

ahhh ok. My mistake.

you were more correct in your statement, but the troll was being.. well.. a troll
