Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin updates status of Quinn Hughes contract talks
Minnesota Wild General Manager Bill Guerin provided updates on star defenseman Quinn Hughes' contract status during several interviews at the Minnesota State Fair. Guerin confirmed that the team is actively working on a contract extension, noting that communication between the organization, Hughes, and his agent remains positive and free of tension.
However, Guerin indicated that the negotiations are complex, stating that Hughes is currently evaluating his long-term career and life goals. Guerin suggested that Hughes' motivations may differ from other players like Cale Makar, implying that factors beyond purely financial terms are influencing the process. The two sides have reportedly met in person twice this summer to discuss a potential deal.
Separately, reports have surfaced suggesting the Minnesota Wild may follow other NHL teams, such as the Dallas Stars, by moving their live game broadcasts to Amazon Prime Video.
