Inside Kaprizov's Contract with Wild GM Bill Guerin

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee react to the New Jersey Devils locking up Luke Hughes to a 7x9 extension. Then, fresh off signing Kirill Kaprizov to a record-setting deal, Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin joins the show (7:15) to discuss the NHL's rising-cap landscape, the plan to build around Kaprizov, the pressure on the star winger after becoming the NHL's highest-paid player, and how he's managing dual responsibilities with the Wild and Team USA. Later, Nick, Justin and Sam discuss the best-value contracts in the league, the Oilers trading for Connor Ingram, and the Canadiens' and Senators' scrappy preseason meeting. Finally, they play a quick game of 'True or False.'
