A recent update by well-trusted NHL insider, Elliotte Friedman, speculates Kirill Kaprizov's reasoning for declining major offer from the Minnesota Wild, and it's shocking.
Earlier this month, Minnesota Wild's Kirill Kaprizov reportedly declined a $128 million contract offer from his organization.
This report ultimately indicated that Kaprizov rejected a $128 million offer from Minnesota Wild's general manager, Bill Guerin, and per NHL insider, Frank Seravalli, this deal would have made him the highest paid player in National Hockey League history.
Take a look:
«Sources say #mnwild superstar Kirill Kaprizov's camp turned down an extension offer believed to be 8-years, $128 million in a meeting on Tuesday in Minnesota that would have made him the highest-paid player in #NHL history in both AAV ($16 million) and total dollars.»
However, a recent announcement by NHL insider, Elliotte Friedman, has unveiled some concerning speculations regarding why Kaprizov denied this contract extension.

On Sportsnet's THE FAN Hockey Show earlier today, Wednesday, September 24, NHL insider, Elliotte Friedman reported that he believes there has been some tampering from alternative NHL teams on why Kaprizov denied this deal.
«I do believe there has been tampering going on. I'll never be able to prove it, but I believe it.» Elliotte Friedman stated
Could this have something to do several insiders reports on Kaprizov reportedly considering joining the Chicago Blackhawks organization?
At this time, there is no proof regarding whether or not alternative teams have been tampering with Kaprizov and his decision to decline the offer from the Wild.
Yet, since this superstar declined such an offer, an alternative destination may be what Kaprizov is in search for, and Blackhawks fans hope Chicago is in the back of his mind.
Do you think the Chicago Blackhawks will be capable of acquiring Kirill Kaprizov when his contract expires?
