NHL Rumor Roundup: Latest On Quinn Hughes, Flames Could Be Sellers Again
The Minnesota Wild's season ended last week with their second-round elimination by the Colorado Avalanche.
Following that series, however, they got some good news about Quinn Hughes' future with the franchise.
During his end-of-season media availability, Hughes told reporters he's open to signing a contract extension with the Wild. The 26-year-old superstar defenseman has a year left on his contract with a cap hit of $7.85 million.
Filip Gustavsson Faces Uncertain Future After Wild's Playoff Goalie Shift
Jesper Wallstedt's sudden postseason emergence has transformed the Wild's crease into a battleground, leaving former starter Filip Gustavsson questioning his role and long-term security in Minnesota.
Turning to the Calgary Flames, GM Craig Conroy has spent the past two seasons shipping out veteran players for promising youngsters and draft picks.
According to Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff, Conroy could be in sell mode again during the off-season.
Di Marco quoted team sources claiming the Flames GM is willing to entertain trade offers for almost everyone on the roster. The only untouchables are goaltender Dustin Wolf, forwards Matvei Gridin and Matt Coronato, and defenseman Zayne Parekh.
Blake Coleman is the most likely trade candidate. The 34-year-old two-way left winger is a year away from UFA eligibility. Others include forwards Morgan Frost, Yegor Sharangovich, Connor Zary and Joel Farabee.
Di Marco believes the Flames would love to move playmaking left winger Jonathan Huberdeau, but his expensive contract remains a major obstacle. He has five more years remaining with an average annual value of $10.5 million and a full no-movement clause.
