"Bill Guerin is gonna say yes" - NHL insider claims Quinn Hughes will get what he demands from the Minnesota Wild
Hughes said he is not rushing a deal as the Wild appear willing to offer up to $20.8 million a year.
- On Thursday at TRIA Rink, Quinn Hughes indicated he is ready to begin contract extension talks with Wild general manager Bill Guerin, emphasizing he feels no stress regarding the Oct 1 opener.
- Following a busy year that included winning a gold medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy, Hughes preferred to engage in these important contract discussions with Guerin in person.
- Kirill Kaprizov signed an eight-year, $136 million extension late in the process, serving as precedent for patience, while the Wild can offer Hughes a maximum $20.8 million annually.
- Hughes expressed strong commitment to the Wild, stating, "I have so much trust in Billy," and dismissing interest in joining his brothers on the New Jersey Devils.
- A three-year deal makes sense, providing a window to compete for a Stanley Cup, and despite some fatalism in the Twin Cities, there is no immediate panic.
