Is Kirill Kaprizov comfortable where he is or will he be thinking starting a new?
Igor Rabiner of RG.org: Sergei Samsonov left his role as Director of Player Development from the Carolina Hurricanes back in 2023 to take a player development position with the Dan Milstein’s Gold Star Hockey agency.
Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov is eligible to sign a contract extension after July 1st as he has one year remaining on his contract. Samsonov thinks things will play out organically.
“It depends so much on the player’s own feelings,” Samsonov explained. “We don’t know what’s going on in the team, what Minnesota’s future will necessarily look like yet or what the offer would be. No matter which team Kaprizov chooses, the money is going to be there; he’s earned himself a great contract. The biggest question is whether he’ll want to start all over again in a new, possibly more stellar team, or whether he’ll be more comfortable playing where he’s already worked his way up to being a player of that level.”
