## Resource

Minnesota’s eyes are on defenseman Quinn Hughes, and his contract could spark a major roster shakeup—especially with the precedent set by Cale Makar’s eight-year deal. But here’s the catch: paying top dollar for a short-term stay? That’s risky. With Kaprizov already in the mix, Minnesota faces a brutal salary balancing act. No team has yet crowned a Cup with a player earning over $10M, reminding us that championships hinge on balance—not just superstar paychecks.
