NHL Rumors: Vegas Golden Knights, Montreal Canadiens, and the Chicago Blackhawks
Connor Bedard could be looking for Kirill Kaprizov money
The Fourth Period: Leo Carlsson signed a five-year, $18 million per offer sheet. Kirill Kaprizov comes in at $17 million a season, and Irfaan Gaffar reported that Connor Bedard could be looking for Kaprizov money from the Chicago Blackhawks.
“Connor Bedard is in for a payday. He saw Bowen Byram get a payday. I think that Connor Bedard is looking at Kirill Kaprizov money,” Gaffar said. “I think that is a situation and that is a number that he’s looking at, and I do strongly believe that he thinks he deserves it. I’m not entirely sure the Chicago Blackhawks as an organization are close to that number when discussing Connor Bedard right now.”
Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson was believed to have started Bedard talks in the $10 to $12 million range.
- Allan Walsh: “There are so many younger NHL players right now regretting that they signed last year or during the season. Millions per year were left on the table.”
