Because their window is open now (or at least it should be), and Quinn Hughes will not be 7.85m forever. At this rate with the way he plays he is likely making nearly double that salary as a continuous Norris-level player. Even if they could get him for free it would be advantageous to grab a d man of Quinn's caliber for 2 years and maybe some retention attached by Vancouver if they could get a haul.
