Minnesota Wild superstar Kirill Kaprizov turned down an eight-year, $128 million contract on Tuesday in a meeting with the team, according to a report on X by NHL insider Frank Seravalli.
That contract, which The Athletic had previously reported was the offer Minnesota would make, would have been the largest in NHL history both in terms of AAV ($16 million) and total dollars (surpassing Alex Ovechkin’s 13-year, $124 million deal signed in 2008).
