Pierre Lebrun: “So you say Eichel, Kaprizov, and other places?”

NHL Rumors: McDavid, Eichel, Kaprizov, Connor, Kempe, Robertson and Hutson
LeBron: “Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. On Eichel, just because I met Kelly McCrimmon at the GM conference. He was cautious about what he said, but seemed confident because Eichel was already happy on Eichel because they were able to get something somewhere. Think he loved life there.
Caprizov. My colleague Joe Smith quoted owner Craig Leipold as saying, I think we were almost there. I don’t think so, I think the comments are. I think there is some background. I don’t think he means they have negotiated this right. I think what the owner is saying is that they sit in the room and actually go to achieve when they are in the prom market. Kaprizov should arrive in Minneapolis next week. So I think one person has done it.
I don’t feel anything about Connor, which is probably mainly because I didn’t have the chance to meet Kevin Cheveldayoff from Detroit. So I’m not on it, so I don’t feel anything about it. ”
nhlrumors.com Note: Throughout the offseason, I’ve been talking about each of these three players. As NHLrumors.com records, Minnesota field will make Kirill Kaprizov one of the highest-paid players in the NHL. They can’t afford to lose him. It could be between $15 million and $17 million. He will receive $14 million over Leon Draisaitl’s in Edmonton.
NHL Rumor: No Problem Between Kyle Connor and Winnipeg Jets
As for Jack Eichel, Mitch Marner received a $12 million AAV, as part of the deal with Toronto Maple Leafs, expecting Eichel to be about $13 million or $13.5 million a quarter.
As far as Kyle Connor is concerned, he might be waiting for Adrian Kempe of the Los Angeles King. Kempe’s camp will pay $10 million per season. So the way Kyle Connor made it in Winnipeg, he might get more.
But Kaprizov and Kyle Connor may take longer than Eichel. He may be the first to sign the three players when they head to unlimited free agents on July 1, 2026.
