Wild Eyeing Big Deal for Hughes | Minnesota Wild News
Description
The Minnesota Wild are reportedly finalizing a blockbuster contract extension for defenseman Quinn Hughes, potentially worth $17M+ annually — a bold move to cement their Stanley Cup ambitions. Acquired last season, Hughes exploded with 53 points in 48 games and has amassed over 480 points in 500+ games, routinely ranking among the league’s elite defensemen. With his brothers playing for the Devils and his free agency looming after 2026-27, the Wild are racing to lock him down long-term. Despite financial hurdles — especially with Kaprizov already on the payroll — Hughes’ elite play and impact justify the investment as the team builds a championship-caliber roster.
