Quinn Hughes, defenseman for the Minnesota Wild, has indicated his willingness to sign a contract extension with the team this offseason. When questioned about his future with the Wild, Hughes shared his positive sentiments about his current situation.

“I mean, I really like it here,” Hughes stated. “I think that, I would definitely be open to re-signing. I mean, we’ll see what Billy wants to do.”

He acknowledged that the recent loss was still fresh, but reiterated his openness. “Again, you know, we’re not even 36 hours removed, so it’s a tough loss, but I definitely would be open, you know, open to re-signing here.”

When asked about the key factors influencing such a decision, Hughes mentioned the importance of family and support. However, he also noted that it was still too soon after the season to delve into specifics. “That’s a good question. I mean, I think there’s definitely a couple. You know, I think just going home, talking to my parents, my brothers, obviously leaning on family and support. But again, we’re 36 hours removed. I’m not sure I’m ready to, you know, get into detail what that would look like.”

Hughes further elaborated on his positive feelings towards the team and the city. “But you know, I think I can say that I really like it here. I love the team, I love the city, and the fans. I mean, just, you know, being in that locker room was a special group, and would definitely be reopened to signing here with the guys that we have in the room, and just the people we have in the room.

A lot of, you know, trust, you know, with Billy as well, and love Heinzy and Cappy and the coaching staff. I just think it’s, you know, great spot, great situation for myself. So I’m saying all that, you go with where you want with that.”

Minnesota Wild General Manager Bill Guerin is likely pleased with Hughes’ comments, as the defenseman becomes eligible to sign an extension starting July 1st. His potential new contract could significantly impact the defenseman market, alongside Cale Makar, as they are expected to set new benchmarks for defenseman salaries.
