Quinn Hughes Isn't Sweating Contract Talks with the Wild, Doesn't See the Season Start as a Deadline
Hughes said talks with Bill Guerin are ongoing as the Wild seek to keep the 26-year-old defenseman after a 53-point debut season.
- On Thursday, Minnesota Wild defenseman Quinn Hughes opened training camp entering the final year of his contract with a $7.85 million salary cap hit.
- Hughes expressed no pressure about negotiations, citing forward Kirill Kaprizov's precedent of signing his extension on September 30 last year, well into the contract year.
- Despite speculation about joining his brothers in New Jersey, Hughes affirmed his contentment in Minnesota. Forward Marcus Foligno noted reuniting siblings is "best when it's toward the end of the career."
- General Manager Bill Guerin stated he remains "real comfortable with where we are," citing ongoing conversations with Hughes about the contract.
- Since arriving in a December trade from Vancouver, Hughes set a franchise defenseman record with 53 points and helped the Wild secure its first playoff series victory in 11 years.
