Kirill Kaprizov was recruited by Russia

Kirill Kaprizov, the latest Calder Trophy recipient in the National Hockey League (NHL), has received a contract offer from CSKA Moscow, KHL.

This was stated by the sports site The Athletic on Tuesday. However, he believes that Minnesota Wild, Russia’s current team, is aware of the issue and believes they can retain their services.

The 5’9 ‘athlete played three seasons for CSKA, drafting him into the fifth round of the 2015 te amateur auction before joining the NHL team.
