On today’s episode of Locked on Wild, we evaluate Kirill Kaprizov’s 2022-23 season. We look at his stats, and Kaprizov’s ability to keep his scoring consistent with such a major drop from the rest of the team. We look at his impact on the Power Play, as both a scorer and a play driver for the top unit. We discuss a quiet postseason for Kirill, and what needs to happen the next time the Wild make the playoffs. We look at Kaprizov’s contract, and how the roster will look by the time his deal is done.

Great regular season = A+
Terrible playoffs = F
The Wild can’t consider Kaprizov the Top Player when he was a 5th round draft pick.
That’s a cheap excuse on the Wild organization.
The wild have failed to produce a top player.
They got lucky Kaprizov has been so good
This is like the Detroit Redwings putting the entire organization on Pavel Datsyuks shoulders
The Wild need to bring a big star in this off season or else you will have the same old results.
Make some serious moves
With the league letting him get destroyed by cheap shots, I’m not sure where this plays out. He gets less favorable calls than any other player in the league with his pedigree. The Dallas series was brutal from the Suter cross checks to the one last elbow which should have been a 4:00 minute penalty late in the game. Other teams know the key to knocking off the Wild is to try to injure or frustrate 97. Until the Wild gets a true C1 and time will tell if Zuccarello has gas in the tank going forward, he gets an A period.
Great player, fun to watch and a delight to watch nightly. The best player to ever wear a Wild jersey.
