THE RICHEST CONTRACT IN NHL HISTORY HAS BEEN SIGNED. 🚨⁣ ⁣ The Minnesota Wild locked down superstar winger Kirill Kaprizov on an NHL-record eight-year, $136M extension through the 2033–34 season. 🤯⁣ ⁣ That’s the richest contract in league history both in total money and average annual value ($17M). 🫢⁣ ⁣ The 28-year-old, who already owns multiple franchise scoring records, turned down $16M annually before inking the historic deal, resetting the market just as the salary cap is set to rise. 📈⁣ ⁣ With Kaprizov secured, all eyes turn to other pending UFAs like Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel, and Artemi Panarin. 👀⁣ ⁣ Would you pay $17M a year for Kaprizov? 🫣 #thegist⁣ ⁣ #nhl #menssports #kaprizov #hockey #menshockey #sportsbiz #deal #minnesotawild
