According to The Athletic’s Joe Smith, rumors said Kaprizov was very interested in signing with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2026, after his $9,000,000 AAV contract with the Minnesota Wild expires.
If willing to take a team friendly deal to be a part of a bigger plan similar to Hossa, great, do it.
If this is going to be a Stan Bowman albatross deal, hard pass.
Laz walked these comments back and said Chicago has interest in him rather than the other way around.
