Wild’s Guerin quietly confident Hughes extension is coming
Guerin said the Wild remain in contact with Hughes and agent Pat Brisson as the NHL now limits extensions to seven years.
- On Tuesday, Minnesota Wild General Manager Bill Guerin stated that contract extension negotiations with defenseman Quinn Hughes and his agent, Pat Brisson, remain ongoing, urging fans not to worry.
- Under the NHL's collective bargaining agreement, the eligibility to sign an eight-year contract extension expired late Tuesday, leaving seven years as the league's new maximum allowable duration.
- Citing Wild forward Matt Boldy's seven-year, $7 million deal as a benchmark, Guerin argued that front-loaded contracts for young stars offer significant long-term value.
- Guerin, a two-time Stanley Cup winner, noted his open communication with Hughes and Brisson, expressing quiet confidence that an agreement will be reached.
- Expansion talk to 34 teams and the size of recent contracts across the NHL's 32 franchises reflect the league's overall health, according to Guerin.
