Bill Guerin said Hughes is the top offseason priority as Minnesota weighs eight pending free agents and only $13.5 million in cap space.
- General Manager Bill Guerin identified star defenseman Quinn Hughes as "Priority 1" for an extension this week, with Hughes' contract expiring on July 1, 2027.
- Minnesota enters the offseason with $90.5 million in salaries committed against a $104 million salary cap, leaving Guerin with roughly $13.5 million in cap space to reshape the roster.
