Now that reality has set in, and the Quinn Hughes trade wasn't some wonderful fantasy we all collectively dreamed up, it's onto the next order of business for the Minnesota Wild.
Hughes is here, and while he's under contract until 2027, the next phase of making the blockbuster trade work is convincing him that he needs to stay.
Wild fans just went through this with Kirill Kaprizov and that all ended up working out perfectly. One superstar is under contract long-term, and now the attention shifts to Hughes' future, and so far it seems things are off to a tremendous start.
