NHL insider Frank Seravalli reports on X that Minnesota Wild’s superstar Kirill Kaprizov rejected a historic contract offer.

According to Seravalli, Kaprizov’s camp has rejected the Wild’s offer of an eight-year contract worth a total of 128 million dollars. The annual value of the contract would have been 16 million dollars.

The contract would have made Kaprizov the highest-paid player in the NHL. Additionally, it would have been the largest in NHL history.

The 28-year-old Russian forward Kaprizov’s current contract is valid for the upcoming season. He will earn nine million dollars next season.
