Wild season preview: Long-term Quinn Hughes deal could boost Stanley Cup chances

by TheWire· 1 replies· started 2h ago

The Minnesota Wild signed defenseman Quinn Hughes to a long-term contract, improving their defensive core. The team will address the loss of Mats Zuccarello, who signed with the Los Angeles Kings, by adding Blake Coleman to strengthen the penalty kill and provide offensive support. The Wild finished last season with a 46-24-12 record and lost in the Western Conference Second Round.

I don't see how signing Quinn Hughes necessarily improves their defensive core. I mean, he's been good, but Minnesota wasn't exactly hurting in that department last season.
