Report Reveals the One Player the Wild Might Want from Canadiens in a Kaprizov Trade

Kaprizov, the star player of the Minnesota Wild, represents exactly the kind of offensive talent capable of transforming a team into a Stanley Cup contender.

Imagining Kaprizov alongside Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield has made many fans dream.

However, this possibility just received a serious cold shower with comments from a journalist.

Indeed, on the airwaves of The Shaun Starr Show, Marco D'Amico explained that the chances of seeing Kaprizov end up in Montreal are extremely slim.

D'Amico added that any discussion would start with the name of Ivan Demidov.

The young Russian prospect, considered one of the best of his generation, is the one the Wild would want in return to let go of their star forward.

This statement, also relayed by Félix Forget, hit fans like a cold shower who were still hoping.

Trading Demidov, whom many already see as the future cornerstone of the club, would go completely against the Canadiens' rebuilding plan. I'd even say it's impossible for the Habs to make that move.

In my opinion, even if Kaprizov is an elite player, Ivan Demidov embodies too much of the team's future to be sacrificed.
