Kirill Kaprizov just wants to focus on hockey right now

Jessi Pierce of NHL.com: Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov said there is lots of time to negotiate a new contract, as he has a year on his contract, and he just wants to focus on hockey.

“It’s my job to just focus on hockey and the camp right now,” Kaprizov said. “I just want to be practicing. We have a lot of time. Just want to practice and get ready for the season.

“My agent (Paul Theofanous) talks with Billy and the team. It’s not my job right now. I just want to be focused and be ready for the season and keep playing and that’s it.”
