Adams and Co. must have really liked some specific projection (also character/compete which is high on their list for building culture). We won't know for a few years. I'm giving Adams the benefit of the doubt on this one until he proves me wrong. Go Sabres! That's why they drafted Quinn because they projected him highly. Quote
thewookie1 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Posted July 24, 2021 A bit of a reach but the kid certainly has a ton of potential. 1 Quote

But Scouching has him at 5 chances per game. He'll get better. Is he a reach? Yes, a bit. But he's only low scoring because he was deployed like Rob Ray was deployed.

He's 2-3 years away, but his instincts and game are in the right place. He's a JJ Peterka light. .... If we didn't have so many other needs, I'd like this more. But if he get to 185#, he could be really, really solid. Even 185 is still small. This is the NHL. Not every player can be Martin St Louis. 10 minutes ago, Let's Go B-Lo said: no you don't. This organization needs to hit about 10 singles in a row before they start swinging for the fence. They swung for the fence with Quinn. 7 minutes ago, darksabre said: I've decided I like her. She's cute. Chicks named Emily usually aren’t cute. 4 minutes ago, LGR4GM said: That's why they drafted Quinn because they projected him highly. Doesn’t make him the right pick there. I still think this was a huge mistake. Isak will likely be a mistake too. These aren’t picks the Sabres should be gambling on, with the state they are in. Quote

Gatorman0519 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Posted July 24, 2021 Either KA is going to look like a gangster in a few years or we are staring at year 15 of a playoff drought. The safe bet was Rossi last year and one of the goalies or the Russian kid. 1 Quote

Claude Balls Posted July 24, 2021 Report Posted July 24, 2021 I'm having deja-vu when it comes to Sabres GMs. Team is gonna suck FOREVER!!! I'm 53 and I might just be young enough to see the Sabres actually make the playoffs one year. Although, the way I've treated my body in the past, I'm not counting on it. Quote
SABRES 0311 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Posted July 24, 2021 KA fed the peasants with a good trade. He’s now free to be himself. 2 Quote

LGR4GM Posted July 24, 2021 Report Posted July 24, 2021 My initial reaction is that this a meh draft for Buffalo. I like Power and Rosen but not with the other talent on the board. 3 1 Quote

I like Power and Rosen but not with the other talent on the board. I have to agree with you. I almost think Adams was pressured into taking Power, just because he was the consensus #1 with all the pundits. Oh, and because Terry wanted him. As for Rosen.....quite the reach. C+ so far 1 Quote
LGR4GM Posted July 24, 2021 Report Posted July 24, 2021 I'd give the draft a B- or a B. I think they left value on the board. before anyone freaks out, this is a right now opinion. Quote
