Star defenseman Quinn Hughes says he is "definitely open" to signing a contract extension with the Minnesota Wild.
General manager Bill Guerin swung the NHL's biggest trade of the season when he acquired the Norris Trophy winner from the Vancouver Canucks in December. Hughes, 26, had 53 points in 48 games for the Wild while leading the NHL in average ice time this season (27:44).
