Minnesota Wild<\/a> general manager Bill Guerin is set to meet with star defenceman Quinn Hughes<\/a> in Michigan this week as extension talks continue between the two sides, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.<\/p>\n

Russo reiterates that the Wild would like to sign Hughes to a five-to-eight-year term, but a three-year contract appears to make the most sense for the blueliner, walking him to free agency at the same as his brother, Jack Hughes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hughes was acquired by the Wild in a blockbuster deal with the Vancouver Canucks<\/a> last December that saw defenceman Zeev Buium<\/a>, forwards Marco Rossi<\/a> and Liam Ohgren<\/a>, and a first-round draft pick head back the other way. <\/p>\n

Set to turn 27 in October, Hughes recorded seven goals and 76 points in 74 games split between the Canucks and Wild while averaging 27:44 of ice time. He registered four goals and 15 points in 11 playoff games while averaging 30:57 of ice time before the Wild were eliminated in the second round.<\/p>\n

The Orlando native was a key contributor to the United States at Milano Cortina 2026, helping his country win Olympic gold for the first time since 1980 while being named the tournament\u2019s best defenceman. <\/p>\n

Jack Hughes<\/a>, 25, scored the overtime winner in the gold-medal game win over Canada. He remains under contract with the New Jersey Devils<\/a> at a cap hit of $8 million under the summer of 2030. <\/p>\n

Luke Hughes<\/a>, the youngest brother of the family, currently holds the highest the cap hit of the three at $9 million, signed with the Devils through 2031-32.<\/p>\n

Hughes won the Norris Trophy in 2024, recording 17 goals and 92 points in 82 games with a plus-38 rating while averaging 24:41 of ice time as a member of the Canucks.<\/p>\n

The 5-foot-10, left-shot blueliner is entering the final season of his six-year, $47.1 million deal that carries a cap hit of $7.85 million.<\/p>\n

Drafted seventh overall by the Canucks in 2018, Hughes has 66 goals and 485 points in 507 career games split between the Canucks and Wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin is set to meet with star defenceman Quinn Hughes in Michigan this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":632675,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5128],"tags":[4759,894,5,43411,33380,33170,4,39765,893,27,5313],"class_list":["post-632674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-vancouver-canucks","tag-apple-news","tag-canucks","tag-hockey","tag-jack-hughes-sports-hockey-player-player-nhl-api-8481559","tag-luke-hughes-sports-hockey-player-player-nhl-api-8482684","tag-minnesota-wild-sports-hockey-team-team-nhl-api-30","tag-nhl","tag-quinn-hughes-sports-hockey-player-player-nhl-api-8480800","tag-vancouver","tag-vancouver-canucks","tag-vancouvercanucks"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116998853315258118","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=632674"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632674\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/632675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=632674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=632674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=632674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
