    Quinn Hughes' Future with Minnesota Wild Uncertain

    Quinn Hughes, acquired by the Minnesota Wild from the Vancouver Canucks in December 2025, has yet to sign a contract extension despite being eligible since July 1. NHL insiders Keith Kavanaugh and Jeff Marek suggest that the situation has shifted from 'when' to 'if' Hughes will re-sign with the Wild. Hughes' camp and the Wild have been in talks, but no agreement has been reached. The main concern for Hughes seems to be the team's Stanley Cup potential. Wild GM Bill Guerin has been in contact with Hughes' camp but hasn't provided a clear timeline for an extension. Meanwhile, veteran Nick Foligno expressed confidence in Hughes re-signing. Elliotte Friedman predicts Hughes will sign a 3-year deal worth $18 million per year, but negotiations are ongoing.
