Latest on Quinn Hughes trade rumors amidst contract negotiation reports

Quinn Hughes, who was traded from the Vancouver Canucks to the Minnesota Wild in December 2025, has one year remaining on his six-year, $47.1 million contract and is eligible for an extension. Rumors have surfaced about a potential trade to the New Jersey Devils, though the Wild remain confident they will sign him before the season begins. Contract negotiations have stalled due to the expanded NHL salary cap and recent high-value deals affecting market values.
