## Resource

The Minnesota Wild are racing against time to finalize a contract with defenseman Quinn Hughes, as the season looms just weeks away. GM Bill Guerin remains confident a deal will happen but dropped a bombshell hint: if Hughes stays unsigned, the money freed up could disrupt the future market for elite centers like Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid. With their own top-line center search heating up — and trade rumors swirling around Dylan Larkin — Guerin’s next move could be bold, risky, or both. If Hughes walks, expect Minnesota to make waves — and fast. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
