The Devils have agreed to terms with young defenseman Luke Hughes on a seven-year contract worth $63 million. Hughes will count $9 million against the salary cap through the 2031-32 NHL season — $1 million more annually than brother and No. Luke Hughes was one of just a couple of restricted free agents left unsigned with opening night just about a week away. Anaheim over the weekend got Mason McTavish under contract, while Nashville’s Luke Evangelista still has nothing completed. Jack Hughes hopes Luke gets a chance in his third full year in the league to run the top power-play unit and play big minutes.
