Earlier, the media wrote that Minnesota forward Kirill Kaprizov arrived safely in Minnesota. Thus, an end has been put to the debate on whether the hockey player will help the Wild in the 2022/23 season.

Recall that at the beginning of July it became known that Kaprizov had a problem due to evasion from military service. This information was perceived with particular acuity in the context of the fact that shortly before the publication of news about the illegally acquired military ID card by Kaprizov, another Russian hockey player, Ivan Fedotov, was detained in a similar situation. As a result, Kaprizov had to return to the United States five weeks earlier than planned.

Last season, Kaprizov set a Wild record for points scored with 108 (47 goals, 61 assists) in 81 games. The Russian took fifth place in the list of NHL leading scorers. The 25-year-old also finished 7th in the Hart Trophy voting.

In September 2021, Kaprizov signed a five-year contract with Minnesota for a total of $45 million.

Minnesota fans on social media are advising Kaprizov not to return to Russia again. Fans fear that the hockey player will again have problems with the army.

– To everyone who helped Kirill Kaprizov urgently solve the problem with a work visa, as well as in general with the trip from Russia to Minnesota through Turkey and New York, I want to say a big thank you.

He is lucky ! I hope he won’t fly to Russia anymore. That he buys tickets for the whole family to move to the USA!
