NHL:
If Luke Hughes signs a 6-year deal around 8.4M annually, how does that impact the Devils’ cap space and Jack Hughes’ extension timeline?
Qwiket AI:
A six-year deal at ~8.4M would substantially shape New Jersey’s cap; they’d need to balance Luke’s commitment with room for Jack’s extension and other RFAs. The move could push Jack’s extension further, or tighten cap flexibility if bonuses or front-loading are used. The Devils would likely favor a structure that preserves flexibility for the coming years.
