The Wild have signed Kirill Kaprizov to an eight-year deal worth $17.0M AAV ($136M total).
After countless trade speculations and a deliberate back-and-forth between Kaprizov and the Minnesota Wild, the two parties have agreed on an NHL record-breaking eight-year, $17 million AAV contract. Since his introduction in the NHL in the 2020-21 season, Kaprizov has been among the top point producers in the league, with 386 points (185G / 201A) in 319 games. The 28-year-old superstar forward battled injuries last season and was limited to only 41 games, scoring 56 points (25G / 31A), and will hope to return to speed as one of the NHL's most productive players in the 2025-26 season.
Sturm is expected to be off the ice for four or five days due to back issues.
Sturms' start to his Minnesota tenure is off to a rocky start after it was announced the 30-year-old would be off the ice for four or five days due to a back injury.

He is coming off a seven-goal, 14-point campaign across 62 games with both San Jose and Florida in 2024-25.
