Kaprizov is a Wanted Man in Russia
Here we go again...
It appears Kaprizov is running into the same issue that goaltender Ivan Fedotov, who was detained and sent to a Russian military base earlier this week, did. The Wild superstar is reportedly linked to fraudulent military ID's being sold to players, including Fedotov. Kaprizov apparently immediately returned to the United States after hearing about the arrest of the Russian goaltender.

Kaprizov and Fedotov are just two names of a probably long list of Russian players who have done the same thing.
It will be interesting to see how this story develops in the coming days.
