Perhaps the biggest job in Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin’s off-ice career is complete. The Wild announced on Tuesday morning that they have signed star left wing Kirill Kaprizov to an eight-year deal worth $17 million annually. The deal is the largest in NHL history, good for $8 million more than the offer Kaprizov and his agent, Paul Theofanous, rejected earlier this month. Kaprizov, who is headed into his sixth NHL season, was among the team’s offensive leaders in 2024-25 despite missing half of the regular season with an injury that required surgery. Healthy for the playoffs, he scored five goals in Minnesota’s six-game opening round series loss to Vegas.
