## Resource

The Minnesota Wild are tightening their forward roster ahead of the season, with three key players battling for final spots—training camp and preseason will decide who makes the cut. Meanwhile, Cale Makar’s blockbuster eight-year contract offers a blueprint for Quinn Hughes’ potential deal, but Minnesota’s salary cap constraints make it tough to afford top-tier signings like Hughes and Kaprizov at $20M each. With no Cup-winning team ever having a player earning over $10M, the Wild must balance elite talent with financial prudence to build a championship-caliber squad.
