## Resource

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. Meanwhile, Ottawa Senators forward Drake Batherson faces his own deadline for an eight-year extension, with talks stalled and the team scrambling to avoid losing another key piece. Both teams are racing against the clock to lock down their core before the window closes. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
