I realize this is sarcasm, but I'll call out bill here (again). Assuming 97 has not already made up his mind to leave and negotiations are progressing in earnest bill guerin is not the person I want in the room with the agent (shark). bill is not mentally or emotionally equipped to land this plane. I hope 97 is jockeying for a 3 year $17M deal and we get 4 more years with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kaprizov gets away maybe Billy can move back home and be the Devil's equipment manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I'm an owner I judge BG by what he could and could not do.... not by whether or not Kirill wants a trade regardless of the offer. I would also consider firing BG if BG offered too much causing the team to be hamstrung again with a ludicrous contract. Considering Leipold said he had the contract in his pocket I'm guessing that him and BG made a mutual conclusion on the offer. So I doubt very much if BG is in any danger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner already promised Kaprizov that no one would offer more money than the Wild, and he boasted the Kaprizov deal would likely make him the highest paid player in the NHL. Therefore, Kaprizov will get an albatross size contract, the only question is the length of that deal. Guerin will offer the max, because to do otherwise, might embarrass the owner.
