The Wild acquired Hughes from the Canucks in a blockbuster trade on Dec. 12, 2025, for forwards Marco Rossi<\/a>\u00a0and Liam Ohgren<\/a>, defenseman Zeev Buium<\/a>\u00a0and a first-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. He has 71 points (eight goals, 63 assists) in 62 games for Minnesota and 503 points (69 goals, 434 assists) in 521 career games for the Wild and Canucks.<\/p>\n

Hughes most recently addressed his contract prior to his return to Vancouver on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really enjoying it right now and just taking my time, and we\u2019ll see where it goes,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if something happens soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about those comments Tuesday, Guerin said, \u201cI have to just let Quinn do his thing, have his interviews, say what he needs to say. I\u2019m not going to try to get in his head and honestly all I\u2019m doing right now is letting this kid play hockey. And you know what, he\u2019s playing great, he\u2019s helping us win games. Like I\u2019ve always said, whatever will happen will happen, and right now the only person who knows what\u2019s going on in Quinn\u2019s head is Quinn, and that\u2019s OK. And I just want to keep moving forward as a team and keep trying to win games.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hughes indicated he was not in a rush to sign when he spoke at the NHL\/NHLPA North American Player Media Tour in Las Vegas on Sept. 9, a week before training camps began.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is going to be done whenever I feel like it has to be done,\u201d Hughes said then. \u201cI don\u2019t feel backed up against a wall. I\u2019m very thoughtful. I want to make sure I\u2019m taking my time on everything and make sure I\u2019m making a decision that is going to be good for everyone. That\u2019s kind of where my head has been at.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t had that many conversations just because of how I wanted my summer to go in terms of being fresh and resetting and enjoying and training and being around friends and family. As we get going here I\u2019m sure it\u2019ll heat up, but I don\u2019t feel backed up against a wall where I have to sign before camp.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Wild acquired Hughes from the Canucks in a blockbuster trade on Dec. 12, 2025, for forwards Marco…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":944599,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-944598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=944598"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944598\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/944599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=944598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=944598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=944598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
