Is this kid what he was the last 3 months of the season or is that a blip. He's a dangerous pick, and he isn't the Pegula's pick. This is a Adams guy.

Rasmus_ Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 This is the worst drafting team in the NHL for the past 10 years. They don't have a player outside of Asplund past the first round that has played a single game. It just goes to show, that a new general manager who "works well" with the owners, and "understands our feelings" is going to be nothing more than a god damned yes man. Jack Quinn, is only mentioned as a natural goal scorer with a shot. That's a "one dimensional" hockey player at definition. I will admit, I haven't watched a ton of tape, because I didn't think we'd be taking a player ranked anywhere between 10-16. I was more involved in two way centermen. Once again, we have center issues, and settling on a 37 year old being your answer, is a short term view, not long term realistic view. If Quinn is who you believe is the best talent on the board at 8, I want someone else laying the decision making. Sell the team Terry, you have a profitable football franchise that will make you more money. However, you decide to get involved in almost every decision and this is just another example of why you're trash. Yes, I'm overly angry at everything, but I was hoping that analytics would put a player like Marco Rossi, or Anton Lundell over. Instead, we got an overager, who does one thing well. Half of my anger will be defused with in a few hours, but I'm pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Was curious about the status of the OHL this season(as Quinn will be playing there this year). I found this quote in an article... Ontario Sport Minister Lisa MacLeod told TSN this week the OHL may need to adopt minor hockey’s approach by shelving fighting, bodychecking and all physical contact when the puck is set to drop (if faceoffs are even permitted) Dec. 1. That should bode well for the development of Quinn and all other players in the OHL....playing pond hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to go back but basically his first half was say 35% and his 2nd half was 65% (roughly) Which isn't abnormal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 33 minutes ago, Cal Naughton Jr said: Well I guess I’m the only one that likes this pick 🤷🏻♂️ No you are not. All the analysts on the the draft show thought this was an excellent pick. It appears that one of the prime reasons that he went before some other highly touted players is that he is a little bigger than the others. I would have been happy if the Sabres instead took Perfetti or Rossi. I understand why they made this pick and I'm happy with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Haven't been this displeased w/ a Sabres 1st rounder since Nylander. 2 much better players on the board & the Sabres went for need. This just seems so much like the Bills pick of McCargo. Looking at the raw stats but not the circumstances. Honestly would've rather had Askarov (& didn't want Askarov at 8). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I just don't know how you can come away from this night with Rossi right there and then pick someone else. Especially since we have no Center depth behind Jack and Couzins..... And no, Mitts will never be an NHL center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie1 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I'm furious, I absolutely despise the pick since it was not only over Rossi and Perfetti but spits in the face of practically everything Adams and staff said they were doing. We took a one dimensional goal scorer that will take at least 2 years to work his way up to the team and will more than likely flame out like many before him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were 2 inches taller literally nobody would worry that he was too polished. I don't even understand that. I'm sorry, you're too good right now. I don't know what we could possibly do with you. Let's take someone that we ourselves acknowledge isn't as good as you but we think we can make him better than you despite the fact that we haven't developed prospects for crap in a decade and a half. Yeah, I hate it when prospects are too good and too polished. That’s the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted October 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Quinn isn't 1 dimensional. That would be a mistake to say. He played the PK for Ottawa so he's got defensive chops. I think he needs to continue to work on his skating and muscles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallawaySabres Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 SO in the span of 1 day, the Sabres signed a 3 year deal to a total piece of crap that was the major piece in the Blues deal with O-Reailly AND drafted someone who MAY be ready in 3 years...so Sabres 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Buff Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Interesting that Quinn wasn’t even included in Larry Fisher’s Top 124 Preseason Rankings released last August, and by November was still projected as just a third-rounder. Now he's been selected at the 8th overall by yours truly your Buffalo Sabres! Really hope this pans out & he's not taking Okposo's spot on the 4th line.
