NHL’s Top 10 Contracts of 2025: Which Stars Are Winning Big—and Who’s the Biggest Surprise?
For roughly the price of one Elias Lindholm, the Devils get a franchise center, a borderline MVP threat and one of the league’s most impactful players. Going into next season, only seven players are projected to provide a bigger game-to-game impact than Hughes. Over the life of his deal, Hughes has a very real chance of becoming a top-five player in the sport.
That’s a big step up from what’s expected of an $8 million forward, which is to provide low-end, first-line value. The difference between what Hughes is and what his contract demands is massive, the largest in the league. It’s what informs the chances of Hughes living up to his deal, a laughably high 99.9 percent. This deal is as good as it gets.
