Quinn Hughes: Bill Guerin publicly admits he doesn’t know how to sign him

Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin publicly admitted he does not have a clear answer on how to get defenseman Quinn Hughes signed to an extension. According to reporting from Michael Russo and Joe Smith of The Athletic, the Wild had been confident Hughes would sign before the season began, but the star defenseman remains unsigned.

The article notes that Guerin took a known risk by trading for Hughes without a contract guarantee in place. The writer suggests Hughes' desire to potentially play alongside his brothers, Jack Hughes and Luke Hughes with the New Jersey Devils, is a primary obstacle to Minnesota securing a long-term deal.
