Summary
The Minnesota Wild are stuck in contract talks with defenseman Quinn Hughes, who’s set to become a free agent next summer — and time is running out. With big deals like Cale Makar’s $160M eight-year contract setting the bar, pressure mounts as fans and insiders wonder if a trade might be better than waiting.
