Absolutely! While Kirill had a terrific Calder trophy first year in a shortened season (covid hangover) with the Wild, when he signed this contract he definitely was not considered elite superstar status. This deal was scoffed at by other players like Drew Doughty and probably others, even though KK97 did break out his second season. This was mostly a good contract, but he's got all of the leverage right now, and there's very very little we can do about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossi is the best available option for the Wild, Ek will never be a 80 point guy, sounds like Yurov will take some development which is understandable as a young player coming to a new country/language. Yes I agree thats why I never understood the whole contract negotiation stuff this off-season. Not with Rossi but also not with Kaprisov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He squeezes everything he can out of a team. It probably only ended up being that much if there was a NMC. Without it, he was probably seeking more.

Other than a couple of those players, I think Guerin was right to pass on them. Miller or Strome would have been interesting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
