Minnesota Wild star forward Kirill Kaprizov reportedly rejected a massive contract extension. The Russian rejected an eight-year, $128 million deal that would have made him the highest-paid player.However, Wild general manager Bill Guerin said he isn't sure where that report came from, as he says Kaprizov didn't turn it down."We can cut to the chase. Look, I don't know where this stuff comes from," Guerin said about the report. "I know two things: that info didn't come from us, and it didn't come from Kirill's agent. I don't know where it came from."His agent and I have a very good relationship. We're not gonna let things like this get in the way. I still think we're in a really positive place with Kirill, and like I said, part of my role is to protect him. So we're gonna let this go. We just move on."Yet, if Kaprizov did turn it down, it could be a risky move.3 reasons why Kirill Kaprizov took a risk by turning down extension#1, InjuryThe biggest reason why Kirill Kaprizov could be pushing his luck by turning it down is the injury factor.Kaprizov has dealt with injuries throughout his career, as he played in just 41 games last season.
