The Minnesota Wild are in ongoing contract discussions with defenseman Quinn Hughes and his agent, aiming to secure an extension before the 2026 season. Hughes, who has a year left on his current deal, recorded 76 points last season and has become a key asset since Minnesota traded for him. The team is considering a contract length of 5-8 years, but Hughes may prefer a shorter deal to align with his brothers in New Jersey. With significant cap space available, the Wild are positioned to negotiate a competitive salary for Hughes while managing other expiring contracts.
