Wild Make Hughes Extension Their Top Priority

The Wild are not pretending to have a long to-do list here, because this contract situation is clearly sitting at the top of the pile. When a GM says a deal is the priority, it usually means the club understands the cost of waiting and the leverage game already has a pulse. Minnesota has to sort out the next move with one eye on the roster and the other on the salary cap reality that always shows up at the worst possible time.
