The Minnesota Wild have set their sights on a bold family reunion—and it involves one of the NHL's most talented trios. According to a recent report from Michael Russo of The Athletic, Wild GM Bill Guerin attempted to pry Luke Hughes away from the New Jersey Devils during the 2025-26 season, in a move that could reshape the league's landscape.

This isn't just any trade rumor; it's part of a larger master plan. After successfully landing Quinn Hughes in Minnesota, Guerin is reportedly eager to complete the set. The ultimate vision? Acquire Luke, the youngest Hughes brother, and then make a run at superstar forward Jack Hughes when he becomes a free agent in 2030. The idea is to bring all three brothers together under one roof.

"Everybody knows the Hughes brothers want to play together," Russo wrote. "Maybe Jack wants to come to Minnesota now to join forces with Quinn rather than wait or have it the other way around." However, Russo also noted the complication: "It would be complicated, though, because it’s hard to believe Jack would leave their youngest brother, Luke, behind with the New Jersey Devils."

That's precisely why the Wild made their pitch to then-Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald. But the timing was off. Fitzgerald has since parted ways with New Jersey, and the Devils have hired Sunny Mehta as their sixth general manager in franchise history. It seems unlikely that Mehta's first major move would be trading away a cornerstone like Jack Hughes—or even captain Nico Hischier, who becomes extension-eligible this offseason.

Fitzgerald's departure was partly tied to the Quinn Hughes saga, where he missed the opportunity to bring the defenseman to New Jersey when the Canucks star preferred a trade there. But one thing Fitzgerald got right was holding onto Luke. The youngest Hughes is projected to develop into the Devils' No. 1 defenseman, and keeping him in New Jersey gives the team its best chance to retain Jack long-term.

Luke signed a seven-year contract last September, with six years remaining after the 2025-26 season. That long-term commitment makes him a tough piece to pry away—but for a team like Minnesota, dreaming big is part of the game.

For fans following this saga, one thing is clear: the Hughes brothers are the NHL's most intriguing family storyline, and the Wild are ready to bet big on family ties.
