Minnesota Wild shake up their forward corps with young, unproven talent but keep defense solid with Olli Maatta. The real story? Star defenseman Quinn Hughes, whose extension talks are underway but not imminent. Fans shouldn’t panic—re-signing Hughes is top priority, and unlike Kaprizov’s saga, this is expected to move faster. Hughes may be holding off to see what Cale Makar gets, and if Makar sets a high bar, it could shape Hughes’s ask. Ultimately, locking up two elite defensemen is a luxury any team would love to have.
