What happened: Quinn Hughes said he is not rushing to complete a contract extension with the Minnesota Wild. He said he and the team are confident they will work out an agreement.

Why it matters: Hughes is entering the final season of his current contract, keeping his long-term future a central issue for Minnesota. The Wild acquired him before the 2026 season and need to manage the uncertainty ahead of training camp.

What to watch: Negotiations will continue between Hughes and the Wild as training camp approaches. The timing and length of any extension remain the key points to watch.
