Quinn Hughes is poised to become Minnesota’s anchor defenseman — and the Wild are determined to keep him. After a blockbuster trade last December, Hughes exploded onto the scene with 53 points in 48 games, led the team to a division title, and helped end an 11-year playoff drought with a stunning win over Dallas. He’s also an Olympic gold medalist, with his brother Jack scoring the game-winner against Canada. Though he’s still on his final year of a Canucks deal and the Wild face cap constraints — especially with Kaprizov’s new contract — coach John Hynes says Hughes loves Minnesota and is a perfect fit. With the Wild’s future on his shoulders, a deal may be imminent — and the team’s front office is ready to make it happen.
