Report: Luke Hughes, Devils disagreeing on term for new contract

The main obstacle, according to NJ.com, is that the Hughes camp wants a five-year deal, to align Luke’s contract with that of brother Jack Hughes’ deal. This would conceivably set up both brothers to be unrestricted free agents ahead of the 2030-31 season.

Jack Hughes signed an eight-year, $64-million contract in 2021.

The Devils, on the other hand, want Luke Hughes to sign either a three-year bridge deal or a full eight-year extension.

Luke Hughes, 21, has 17 goals and 76 assists for 93 points and a minus-34 in 155 career games with the Devils. He’s averaged slightly more than 21 minutes in ice time over two full seasons with the club.
