Quinn Hughes remains unsigned as Minnesota Wild open season with win

Summary

The Minnesota Wild won their season opener against the Nashville Predators 3-1 on October 2, 2026. Quinn Hughes earned an assist in the game, but he has yet to sign a contract extension, leading to speculation that he may play out the season and test free agency. Insider Pierre LeBrun notes that discussions between the Wild and Hughes' agent have occurred, but no resolution is imminent as Hughes is not ready to commit. This situation creates potential anxiety for the Wild, which traded significant assets to acquire him last December.
