Bill Guerin doesn’t even know what Quinn Hughes wants

Today, Bill Guerin gave an interview on the Chad Hartman Show. And it's got people talking.

After all, right now, the Wild's GM is under scrutiny for how he'll handle the Quinn Hughes situation and his potential contract extension.

For many Wild fans, he has no room for error.

And there's currently a quote from the Minnesota executive that's causing quite a stir. We're talking about the one where he was asked to compare his player's situation to that of Cale Makar, who recently signed the biggest contract in NHL history.

To say the least, his response isn't reassuring to anyone.

“Quinn might be looking for something else. He's different from Cale Makar. He has a different personality. There are different things in his life that are important.

Who knows what he'll really want, in the end.” – Bill Guerin

I'd love to tell you that, Bill… but if you don't know what he wants, maybe it's only natural that the contract to keep him in town hasn't been signed yet.

Because even though that quote stands out as an “isolated incident” in what was, all in all, a positive interview (in which Guerin notably praised the relationship between the player's camp and the club), let's just say it scared Minnesota fans.
