He's one of these young kids that came into the League and instantly had a major impact. Where will Kaprizov play, and how will he fit into the Wild’s lineup? When you look at it, he's a third overall pick (2012 NHL Draft), he's had success in this league and sometimes you need to make a few stops along the way before you're going to find success and maybe it's here. The fit and all-around skill set and future reasonable growth potential will be key factors. Galchenyuk was in his first season with the Penguins after he was acquired in a trade from the Arizona Coyotes on June 29, 2019. So, assuming Galchenyuk is no longer with the team to start the 2020-21 season, that would leave a spot open in the top two lines for Kaprizov to slide into when he arrives in North America. Can Kapanen live up to the price that Pittsburgh paid for him in a trade with Toronto? New Wild general manager Bill Guerin hasn't been shy about wanting to shake things up since taking the job this offseason, and now he's taken a step in that direction by swinging a big deal with his former club. "He's a proven goal scorer, and with three more years on his current contract, he has the potential to make an impact for us moving forward.".

His 47.5 Corsi-For percentage (CF%) is one of the worst on the Wild this season, but placement on the Penguins stacked forward group should fix that pretty quickly. That trade reportedly included Jason Zucker as the main piece coming the other way (with Jack Johnson and Victor Rask also involved at one point). And while he’s only 24, I’m not sure there’s as much upside here as was forecast by some a couple years ago. However, his modified no-trade clause allowed him to block the deal. On paper, he seems like a perfect fit in the Penguins’ top-six. What does come as a bit of a shock is Rutherford including both a first-round pick and the team’s top prospect. He missed 10 games in December and January with a broken leg. The Penguins however, don’t see a third line peak. That's what we're trying to do. So, with all that in mind, let’s look into what this move could mean for current Wild prospect and KHL star Kirill Kaprizov. Assuming he does, it’ll be his fifth 20-goal campaign in the last six seasons, including a 33-goal performance during the 2017-18 season. You add in the fact that other teams around the league are really intrigued by him, and the return would be much more substantial than for someone like Johnsson (or Kerfoot).

"He's going to make us a stronger team. His speed was splashy, but too often is didn’t result in anything tangible. Galchenyuk can become an unrestricted free agent July 1. That’s the price a franchise has to pay in order to keep pushing for a Stanley Cup run. Really a good all-around player. Not to mention, his personal CF% (51.5 percent) was over two percentage points better than the Wild’s team number (49.1 percent) from 2017-2019. As James Mirtle wrote earlier this week: Let’s face it: Kapanen had a really underwhelming season. by “Having previously drafted him, we know him as a player and feel he can improve our top six.”.
