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.

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.

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...
