Kaprizov Contract Update and Spurgeon/Suter Evals

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we start by updating the Kirill Kaprizov contract extension situation after some national tweets made headlines. We look at what Kaprizov was actually doing over the weekend, and why this is simply a negotiation tactic by Kaprizov's agent. We look at if the KHL is a legitimate alternative after Kaprizov finally got to the NHL and how Bill Guerin will respond.

We then evaluate the 2020-21 season for Jared Spurgeon. We look at why Spurgeon is so underrated all the time and the things he does that impact every single game he plays in. We check some of his advanced stats, and look at what sort of increase in usage he could see if Matt Dumba and/or Ian Cole are both not on the roster next year.

We finish by looking at Ryan Suter's 2020-21 season. We look at how Suter has embraced not being the top defenseman on this team anymore, while also looking at how he can still be productive despite clearly losing a step. Can the Wild put him in better situations to minimize the number of times he gets put in unwinnable situations?
