Hi! I'm sorry that you didn't understand what I was saying but I will write it out in detail. Jack Quinn had 9pts in 15 games Jiri Kulich has 40 in 55 games That means Quinn played at a .6ppg pace in his 15 game injury season (he had a groin injury) That means that Kulich 0.73ppg is just ahead of what Quinn did. See how that works? Further you even did my work for me, Kulich had 7g in his first 32 games which shockingly falls really close in line with what we saw from injured Quinn in his first 15 games. In addition you have completely ignored Kulich's assist total which seems at odds considering that his playmaking is exactly why I would leave him in Rochester another yr. You even note that his passing needs work. That is because Kulich lacks deception and timing still. We already know he can score on breakways and from the Olofsson spot on the pp, but his overall game and his playmaking is half of what Quinn was bringing to the AHL. There is a big reason that Kulich has half as many assists as Quinn did. Quinn had 1.356ppg last year in the AHL whereas Kulich is rocking a 0.73ppg this year in the AHL. That's almost exactly half of what Quinn did. SO no, Jiri Kulich is not on the same level as Jack Quinn and is not ready to jump to the NHL yet. Finally, you say that you see more upside to Kulich compared to Quinn. That is mindboggling to me if I am being honest. Kulich is good but there are layers to Jack Quinn's game that I have never seen from Kulich. Maybe he develops them but right now the higher level functions of Quinn's game (preparing space, deception, passing, and positional iq) are not as readily apparent in Kulich. This is again another reason to leave him in Rochester so he can develop these things. This team needs to decide if it will add Savoie or Kulich but they shouldn't be adding both next season.

We lost that game because of Don Granato's loyalty to Mittelstadt and Olofsson. Putting them out in a shootout before Jack Quinn literally cost us a point. Worst coaching decision I have seen him make all year and it reminds me of Leinonen pick, something so egregiously and obviously bad that it makes me question everything that went into it.

Oh man, all the posters that mysteriously stopped posting over the weekend are back! It's like seeing old friends again. Hi friends!

That ship sailed when we went 2-6-2

Putting olofsson and Peterka in the shootout before Quinn, is terrible coaching.

Either way Chicago lied about why they weren't doing it. And I do see fear as a motivating factor.

Chicago has 1 russian on the team. They canceled because they are chicken shits and then they lied about why.

About what?

No problem with this. We get it and the rest of team can show support on his behalf.

Description has hyperlinks to individual players so you can jump to those you are most interested in.

I guess we will see if Buffalo cancels tonight citing the security concerns for Lybushkin... or you know if that is a legit threat, Boosh could simply not participate. No one would hold him in any less regards over that.

They canceled their entire night for "security concerns" so yes they are lying. They didn't say hey, Nikita Zaitsev you don't need to participate because of the political climate back home." They scrapped the entire thing over "security concerns" of their only Russian player. If you have to cancel a pride night for the entire organization because you have 1 Russian that might be effected, maybe, you are essentially appeasing Putin and in that case you are being extorted by fear, meaning you are terrified, meaning you gave in to terrorists. Better not hold a military anything after you give in to terrorists.

So you don't have an example? Also, I wouldn't trust what the Chicago Blackhawks said if they wished me good morning. That's a franchise that is known to lie to hide things that make them uncomfortable.

When is the last time a goalie was traded for a #1 pick and what did that goalie look like the year it happened?

Oh so you must have an example of a Russian hockey player in the NHL wearing or saying something in support of LGTBQ+ and being punished for it legally in Russia then? I would be curious to read that and understand how it happened.

What if you are firmly against war of any kind? Do you feel united when you are forced to recognize someone who actively participates in that process? What about the growing nationalist movement in this country which has pushed those in the military as a better class of citizen? Should we feel that is true and make sure we honor those who serve? What about police, first responders, firefighters? Haven't seen a night dedicated to them and yet Buffalo just recently lost a firefighter in the line of duty. What about teachers? Do they not "serve"? Nurses and Doctors just went through a dumpster fire of the last 3 years, why is it that we do not unite and celebrate them? Should be stop any nights in hockey that honor black or minority hockey players because some will find that divisive? I am just asking questions that others might have after reading such a definitive statement as "recognizing people who served in the armed forces unites people" and I would like to add one more question. If someone served or didn't serve, are religious or are not religious, why are they opposed to equality for ppl who are not heteronormative? Maybe at the end the question is not did someone serve in the armed forces but why did they serve in the armed forces? Again, just asking some questions not necessarily presenting my views on this.

We can keep him down all next year with an occasional callup. He's basically a touch ahead of Quinn's 15 game pace in his first AHL season and far below his AHL season last year. Kulich can hang out another year in the AHL.

Again, @SDS we need the confused emoji back Just going off draft year stats? Bedard. He's got 71g and won't be 18 until mid July. Whether he becomes as good as McDavid is another question entirely. Bedard has one of the best shots I've ever seen in a prospect.

Jack Quinn may end up the best forward from his draft class. P/60 levels off after a certain amount of ice time from what I've seen. It doesn't just go up exponentially. What I'm saying is yes, Quinns points will increase with more ice time but at some point that levels off. He's absurdly good though 5v5 and has all those untapped pp1 points still to add.

What are you talking about? Bedard is McDavid level good as far as prospects go.

Love to hear this. We no longer have any Vegas picks so win all the regular season games you want.

No 😔 Reinbacher a little

Ik this is old but hear me out. The season is ending so we can reevaluate it.
