TSN Hockey analyst Frankie Corrado joins SportsCentre to share his reaction to the comments made by Wild GM Bill Guerin Tuesday about how Quinn Hughes may not be impacted by the Cale Makar deal, and what that could mean for Hughes' future in Minnesota.

He has a different personality and has different things in his life that are important to him. Who knows what he’s gonna want in the end?”
