Prove It Players in 2021-22

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti returns to look at players who have something to prove in 2021-22. We start though with the latest on Kirill Kaprizov and his ongoing contract negotiation with the Wild. What play does his agent have now that the KHL has officially stated that Kaprizov will not play in their league next year? We also discuss the news that Alexander Khovanov is expected to return to play in America this coming season.

To "Players with something to prove in 2021-22", we start with Kaapo Kahkonen. Can Kaapo prove that he didn't just put up good numbers against the bad teams in the West next season and show he is more than a backup goalie? Can Kevin Fiala bank on himself and have another solid season to set himself up for a huge extension? Can Kirill Kaprizov prove he is worth the money he is asking, and the money the Wild are willing to give him? Can Joel Erkisson Ek prove he is worth the extension the Wild gave him early in the offseason? And can Matt Boldy, Marco Rossi and Calen Addison prove that they are ready to take the next step and be impact players for the Wild?
