Earlier this week, it was reported<\/a> that the Devils and defenseman Luke Hughes<\/a><\/strong> had agreed to focus on a long-term contract but that the sides were well apart in terms of the AAV of such a deal.\u00a0 Anthony DiMarco of Daily Faceoff relays<\/a> that New Jersey now appears to be willing to go higher than $8MM per season on their long-term offer.\u00a0 Notably, that would put him with a higher price tag than his brother Jack Hughes<\/a><\/strong>, who checks in exactly at $8MM per season as their number one center.\u00a0 The blueliner has two full NHL seasons under his belt, both seeing him exceed 40 points while logging over 21 minutes a night of playing time.\u00a0 We\u2019ll soon see if this reported increase to their offer is enough to get talks across the finish line.<\/p>\n
