The card collector's view

Kaprizov's flagship rookie is his 2020-21 Upper Deck Young Guns, the centerpiece of any Wild collection and one of the most-chased modern NHL rookies. His SP Authentic Future Watch rookie autograph and The Cup rookie patch autograph are the premium chases, with Artifacts and SPx parallels filling out the high-end Minnesota collection.

About Kirill Kaprizov at FreshDCards

Kirill Kaprizov is the Minnesota Wild's franchise winger — a fifth-round Russian pick from 2015 who waited five years to come over, then arrived in 2020-21 and won the Calder Trophy as a 23-year-old rookie. In September 2025 he signed an eight-year, $136 million extension worth $17 million AAV, the richest contract in NHL history at the time. He's the first Wild player to reach 40-goal seasons and has reshaped what a Minnesota offense looks like.
