The New Jersey Devils were rumored by multiple insiders to have made an offer for now Minnesota Wild defenseman Quinn Hughes. During the process, it became clear that shedding salary is their biggest issue.
The New Jersey Devils did not acquire Quinn Hughes. It is debated whether or not they could have matched the return the Vancouver Canucks got from the Minnesota Wild. It is widely known that the eldest Hughes brother would consider an extension in New Jersey because both of his brothers play for the Devils.
