Full details of Kaprizov's historic $136 million contract

UPDATE 2: We now have full contractual details of Kirill Kaprizov's historic deal with the Minnesota Wild.

Wild insider Michael Russo reports that Kaprizov will make just $1 million in salary per season which some truly WHOPPING signing bonuses due on July 1st each season.

Check it out:

Oh... and a full no-move clause...

I've gotta say... that has the potential to age very poorly.

Read below for our earlier reports on Kaprizov's new contract.

UPDATE: It's official! The Minnesota Wild have signed forward Kirill Kaprizov to an eight year contract extension worth an NHL record $17 million annually.

From the Wild's official press release announcement:

SAINT PAUL, Minn. - Minnesota Wild President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Bill Guerin today announced the National Hockey League (NHL) club has signed left wing Kirill Kaprizov to an eight-year, $136 million contract extension ($17 million average annual value) that begins in the 2026-27 season and goes through the 2033-34 season.

Not only is Kaprizov's $17 million annual salary the highest in NHL history, but his $136 million in total compensation is also the highest in NHL history.

The 28 year old Kaprizov is now signed until he's 36 years old and will make $17 million sheets per season... yeesh...

There's no denying Kaprizov's importance to the Wild, but I'll be curious to see how this deal ages. Giving a huge contract to a scoring winger is a strategy that hasn't worked for many teams, but the Wild are counting on Kaprizov bucking the trend.

Stay tuned
