It's only been a week since Quinn Hughes spoke to the media on the Players/Media Tour. But now that he's in camp, he's facing the same questions about when he's going to sign an extension with the Minnesota Wild. And while his comments about how much he likes his current team in last week's interview were promising for Wild faithful, his newest words will leave them even more stoked. Quinn Hughes is less than a year away from potentially hitting free agency, with the possibil...
A new era has begun in the NHL this offseason. With the rising salary cap, player contracts have exploded. All three of the top deals in NHL history by average annual value (Cale Makar, Macklin Celebrini, Leo Carlsson) were signed in July and August. More money is good for players and the league, but some teams will also benefit tremendously from the newfound value of the contracts they signed right before this recent gold rush. The Minnesota Wild could be one of those teams. One key to succes...

The Vancouver Canucks aren’t fooling themselves as they open 2026 NHL training camp—they know there’s a lot of losing to come. For now, though, there’s the early-season positivity, not weighed down by losses or a frustrated fanbase, instead buoyed by a new season on the horizon. After finishing the 2025-26 season last in the NHL by a 14-point margin, and securing just nine wins on home ice, in addition to trading franchise defenseman and captain Quinn Hughes to the Minnesota Wild, there’s hope...

After months of speculation, the Minnesota Wild finally closed the deal. We’re not talking about the contract negotiations with Quinn Hughes, who continues to gaze into the universe while mulling a contract extension. Instead, we’re talking about John Hynes, who agreed to a “multi-year” contract extension on Tuesday morning. The terms weren’t disclosed, but it’s a safe bet the Wild see Hynes as part of their long-term future after advancing past the first round of the playoffs for the first ti...
For most of the summer, most people assumed the Minnesota Wild would put Maxim Shabanov in Mats Zuccarello’s role. Given that Shabanov’s skill set mirrors Zuccarello’s, it makes sense to pair him with Kirill Kaprizov and see if they can replicate some of that chemistry. Coach John Hynes seems to agree, telling The Athletic on Monday, “We really want to see Shabanov in that spot — see what he could look like.” In the same breath, Hynes also hinted at some unexpected experimentation. He continue...
