Summary
The Minnesota Wild are closing in on a blockbuster deal with star defenseman Quinn Hughes, potentially making him one of the highest-paid players in the NHL with a projected AAV of $16–18 million over three years.

The Wild’s front office is confident in this bold move, betting big on elite talent to lead the charge. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
