5 NHL stars who will be next for a major contract extension

Kirill Kaprizov, Minnesota Wild

Kaprizov is one of the NHL’s most exciting players, but he is sometimes forgotten about in Minnesota. The 27-year-old winger has 330 career points in 278 games. Kaprizov is already a star, but it still feels like there is still some untapped potential there. He will be extension eligible next summer and the Wild should make him their No. 1 priority. Kaprizov should be a lock to receive a $100-million contract.

KIRILL THE THRILL! 🤩
