That entire line is special... within 1-2 years, I think i could be the best line in the NHL. Limitless potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Props to KA and his staff for taking him. Like most, I wanted Rossi, but Quinn is indeed special. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted December 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 1 hour ago, Doohickie said: Both goals last night and the shootout goal against Detroit were all elite level moves: The shootout was an extreme maneuver that you see few players even attempt, and now that he's done it he can use that to leverage other approaches. The powerplay goal last night featured maneuvering in traffic and a quick release. On the Sabres besides him I think only Tage Thompson and Jeff Skinner are even capable of doing that. The rush goal was a perfectly placed shot taken while skating full speed to get up into the play. We could go through the rest of his goals and probably at least half of them display a skill or tactic you just don't see many other players attempt and just makes you jump out of your seat. And it doesn't come out of nowhere; the various videos of Jack attempting the same maneuver going back to prospect camp shows that he spends time on this kind of stuff. In terms of draft language, he has multiple levels of manipulation he uses to create space for himself. It is a highly translatable skill once the game slows down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quint Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Quinn + Peterka = Vanek + Pominville ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman0519 Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Credit to where credit is due... good call by KA in that draft. The safe pick was Rossi. But Quinn had the higher ceiling and is playing like it.  1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Somewhat quietly Quinn has put up 12 points in his past 12 games. A point tonight will move him into a tie for 2nd in scoring among all 2020 draft picks this year. That’s ahead of Raymond, ahead of Jarvis, ahead of Lundell and ahead of Lafreniere. And way ahead of Drysdale, Byfield, Holtz and Rossi. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly Adams ((or/and?) his team) had it right. - - - ^ on this front, my guy was Lundell and he did have 44 in 65 last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 The penalty differential looks good for such a young age. It’s like the version of Skinner we see today who’s figured out how to pass, but with better 2 way play, and he’s still getting better. Better goal song right now, too, and I don’t even know what Quinn’s is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted March 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Yes this thread is older BUT! before SDS shuts us down, Jack Quinn had a dip and then in the last 7 games has bounced back hard and fast. Jack Quinn in the last 7 games has 3g, 5a, and is a +6. We will need him to maintain his production for the stretch here with Tuch out. We need Jack Quinn to breakout, now.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 He has definitely taken a step forward. He doesn’t look out of place on that line. He has a different style of game than Tuch but is IQ and his linemates’ IQ is high so they’ve meshed quickly. He also needs more PP time. I’ve had enough of KO on PP2 or VO on PP1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason for KO to be on a PP unit and that isn't meant as a bash to KO. He needs his legs for other things. VO is only useful on the PP so idk what to do with that. Honestly, I would trade VO for the defense help we desperately need because as soon as now we can replace him. Jack Quinn should be on a PP unit and be a go to guy. He has so many tricks that he just generates chaos. We need more Chaos... on offense. On defense Jack Quinn is also one of the best forwards. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKnowPhysics Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Still needs to work on skating acceleration and top speed in addition to more consistency on second efforts in puck battles, but I'm loving everything else about his game.
