NHL Rumors: Minnesota Wild, Winnipeg Jets, and the Buffalo Sabres

The Minnesota Wild and Quinn Hughes' camp continue working on a contract extension projected in the $16 to $18 million range that is not expected to drag into September. The Winnipeg Jets have rejected trade offers for Connor Hellebuyck from the Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers, and came close to a deal with the Buffalo Sabres at the draft but did not want to trade the No. 8 pick. The Jets and Sabres may still work out a potential deal involving goaltenders and other prospects, though specifics remain uncertain.
