They do have contract options available to Hughes that other teams can not offer. Money talks. If there is no progress on contract talks in the summer, they can still recoup some assets back, or maybe just go all in again next year. If I was a Wild fan I would be happy.

I think it's a huge trade for MIN - they just elevated their core from decent to great. And pretty young too
Kaprisov 28
Boldy 24
EE 28
Hughes 26
Faber 23
Wallstedt 23
I also think VAN did as well as they could have hoped, so it's a great trade.
