Wild prospect Kirill Kaprizov to stay in KHL for next 3 seasons

Minnesota Wild fans will have to wait at least three more years to see budding young prospect Kirill Kaprizov take the ice in the NHL.

The Russian forward has agreed to stay in the KHL for three more seasons, the president of CSKA Moscow announced.

Kaprizov, 20, was only a fifth-round pick by the Wild in the 2015 draft, but he is coming off an impressive season, potting 20 goals and adding 22 assists in 49 games with Ufa Salavat Yulayev of the KHL.

It was quite a year for Kaprizov. Not only did he set a KHL record, but he was also Russia's captain at the 2017 World Junior Hockey Championship, leading the tournament with nine goals and tying for the tournament lead with 12 points while taking home Forward of the Tournament honors. Here's a look at some of his handiwork:

They say good things come to those who wait, and it appears the Wild have a good thing coming, as long as they're willing to be patient.
