But folks, I don't know where to start off with this one because the latest update that we have from Quinn Hughes is quite a scary one if we're looking at the performance of this team and really how it's all going to play out.

Agent J.P. Berry told Donnie and Dolly that Quinn Hughes has not been pushed into an extension and is content to make the season as it comes.

you know,

I say possibility because you never really know, but I'm still leaning more towards and heavily towards he will sign.

a lot of questions now though what if the wild starts well you know start to struggle to begin the season if they start out slow is that going to dictate what quinn hughes thinks and right away i'm going to say no i don't think that's the way that this is going to happen obviously The way that this is all worded, how all of this plays out, yes, it may seem like that, but this is a much different scenario that it seems like Quinn Hughes just wants to see if the team feels like last season.

Because from everything that we've seen him talk about, the way that this team has spoken about Quinn Hughes and the way that he's spoken about the team They like the way they play each other.

You know, the big reason that Quinn Hughes said he came here was because of Bill Guerin.

But also I think that, you know, once again, this is a major decision for Quinn Hughes.

Is he going to sign long-term? Well, tomorrow is the deadline for eight years, so that doesn't seem like it, nor has it for the past couple of weeks and months.
