Quinn Hughes Is in No Rush to Get a Contract Extension Done Quickly with the Wild
Hughes said he is taking his time on a new deal after joining Minnesota last season, with insiders saying he is not ready to commit.
- Minnesota Wild defenseman Quinn Hughes, entering the final year of his contract, has not signed an extension and remains unhurried about finalizing a new deal before training camp begins.
- Acquired from the Vancouver Canucks via trade last season, Hughes is weighing his future options, with NHL Insider Chris Johnston noting the defenseman has been 'soul-searching' regarding his next career step.
- A 2023-24 Norris Memorial Trophy winner, Hughes could command a deal mirroring Cale Makar's eight-year, $163.2 million contract, which set an NHL record at $20.4 million per year.
