Gatorman0519 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Posted October 7, 2020 I like the pick honestly. A pure scoring right winger. Fills a huge need. All the talking heads thought it was a very smart pick. 2
DarthEbriate Posted October 7, 2020 Report Posted October 7, 2020 In honor of pick #8, Execute Order... Eight! 1
spndnchz Posted October 7, 2020 Report Posted October 7, 2020 At least his first name isn’t Larry. There’s that.... 2 4 1

LGR4GM Posted October 7, 2020 Author Report Posted October 7, 2020 I don't have words anymore. Quinn shouldn't have been the pick. His 52 goals is not that impressive when you understand the team he was on and the fact he scored 18 of those on the pp. He did that in 62 games on the best team the OHL has seen in years. Context matters and I don't think they got this right. Maybe Quinn will surprise us but Rossi I think should have been the pick. The good news is that Quinn doesn't have any real issues. He's a good skater, decent passer, great shooter, and seems to work hard at both ends of the ice. He needs another full OHL season and a full AHL season IMPO. That may be wrong depending on how much work he has put in since play stopped 7 months ago. Rossi put in over 600 hours, Quinn did? I guess we will find out. 2
Torpedo Forecheck Posted October 7, 2020 Report Posted October 7, 2020 Josh Allen didn't have the numbers either...that is all. 1
Brawndo Posted October 7, 2020 Report Posted October 7, 2020 Pronman’s thoughts: Quinn has elite skill, as he scored 50 goals and was a driver for a top junior team. I get why he went this high. He is very talented. The average foot speed worries me a bit at that size, and he doesn’t have a long track record of elite performance. If he is the guy he was the last three months of the season consistently, he’s a true top-end prospect, but I didn’t slot him top 10 because of the lack of consistent high-end performances over the years. 2
bunomatic Posted October 7, 2020 Report Posted October 7, 2020 Meh. Its a draft pick. If the Sabres can screw that up they will. I don’t mind the pick. He’s our guy. I wonder if Jack will still be around when this kid makes the team ?
The Jokeman Posted October 7, 2020 Report Posted October 7, 2020 I preferred Perfetti but understand liking Quinn's size which can't be learned and a more natural wing. I don't hate the pick like others. 1

I am fickle for several very good reasons. 1
IKnowPhysics Posted October 7, 2020 Report Posted October 7, 2020 The upside is that our RW is so bad after Reinhart that Jack Quinn's NHLe of 38P could play 2RW tomorrow. 1
Ogelthorpe Posted October 7, 2020 Report Posted October 7, 2020 Some fun facts: -one of oldest players in draft -did not make AAA team until 15 -did not start training until 15 or 16 -needs work on skating Sounds exactly like a sabres pick. F'd as usual. So glad I gave up seasons
Shmuffalo Posted October 7, 2020 Report Posted October 7, 2020 Was this pick in spite of Botts? I don't hate the pick, but there were 2 better forwards on the board. Was Quinn #1 all along, or did they not adjust as Rossi and Perfetti dropped? Anywho, excited to see him in 3 to 9er months.

DarthEbriate Posted October 7, 2020 Report Posted October 7, 2020 Going way back.... Rossi - sounds like a member of the Galactic Senate Holtz - sounds like a pod racer Quinn - sounds like a smuggler Sanderson - nope! Not Star Warsy. (update: I hate Sand erson) Askarov - sounds like a planet in the Outer Rim Lundell - sounds like a Rebel pilot who is shot down by turbolasers Holloway - sounds like a Rebel officer Jarvis - sounds like an Imperial officer Hendrix Lapierre - sounds like a bounty hunter Zary - sounds like a helpful pilot you meet in a cantina and go on a side-adventure with 1

We need a top 6 scoring winger. Anyone picked here would of been a few years out anyways.

He won't amount to much with a name like that. Quinn? Quinn is a hockey name. This kid's future is so bright we'll be wearing shades.

Curt Posted October 7, 2020 Report Posted October 7, 2020 7 minutes ago, TheCerebral1 said: This screams to the Pegula's seeing that we didn't score enough goals, and going for a one dimensional player in Jack Quinn. Quinn is a quality hockey player and a first round talent, but this is such a ***** microcosm of how terrible this team is run. The Pegula's made this pick, our GM is a puppet and I ***** hate this team. @Pegulas get out the sport of hockey, you kill the fans every single year more and more. I hate this selection. One thing I’ll say for Quinn is that I don’t think he is a one dimensional player. I think that NJ made a pick just as bad right in front of us.
