Quoting: AntreDiAnaheim
Massive overpay
Only if you believe Karprisov isnt serious about leaving for the KHL
Think about it , Top NHL Rookie leaves NHL in search of his Gagarin cup with his 2019 fresh in his mind
Its an Advertisers Wet Dream and the type of move the KHL has been looking to make
They're offering him top Dollar
Advertising money over there is huge
Plus his Center Grigorenko returned to the KHL
He won the cup with him and they have great chemistry
Plus their team got Fedotov the 6'8 KHL Standout Goalie and PHI Flyers Prospect
There's a lot of appeal and leverage to be gained by his rumored 1 year 10 million dollar deal
Not only does he put the KHL and MIN in a bidding war for maximum profit
He also pushes the teams to put together a team worth playing for
I think Kaprizov leaves for KHL with the deal he has in place
I gotta think being traded just reinforces that move to the KHL
That has to bring down his value in the trade market vs a player like Eichel
Now BUF gotta pay him more then Eichel just to get a seat at the Negotiation Table
