Luke Hughes signed a seven-year, $63 million contract extension with the New Jersey Devils that carries a $9 million annual cap hit. The deal keeps Luke and Jack Hughes under contract in New Jersey through 2030, while Quinn Hughes will be an unrestricted free agent after the 2026-27 season. Luke has 93 points in 155 NHL games and two assists in four playoff games entering his fourth season. Luke missed part of training camp during contract negotiations; Quinn earlier missed preseason time before signing in Vancouver. The brothers have expressed interest in playing together, though Quinn remains the Canucks' captain and currently plays in Vancouver.
"Luke signed a 7-year, $63 million contract Wednesday that carries a $9 million annual cap hit. The 22-year-old defenseman is entering his fourth NHL season and has 93 points in 155 games, along with two assists in four playoff games. Luke missed a chunk of training camp during contract talks with the Devils. Quinn Hughes also missed part of the 2021-22 preseason during free-agent contract talks with the Canucks before signing a 6-year, $47.1 million deal with Vancouver."
"Luke and Jack are now both under contract in New Jersey until 2030, while Quinn will be an unrestricted free agent after the 2026-27 season. "I think the three of us would all love to play together someday. Whether it'll happen or not, who knows? We'll see," Luke said Thursday. "But I know he loves Vancouver and he's the captain there. We love being here. You never know. Never say never.""
