Expand He's been at a spot for probably close to a month that he'd benefit from a game or 2 in the press box. Problem is, Asplund wouldn't have brought anything in his stead. Now that Vinnie's back, after Tuch is healthy he may get that chance to watch. Quote

North Buffalo Posted February 28, 2023 Report Posted February 28, 2023 I am not sure about that but Quinn plays harder... JJ just seems lost... imo better stick handler than Quinn marginal ... shot is same but Quinn gets it off faster... Quinn seeing the ice better right now... but in the A it looked the opposite. Quote

Night Train Posted February 28, 2023 Report Posted February 28, 2023 Like many young guys, Peterka has hit a bump. Long term, I still like him and he showed some very promising flashes. Nothing wrong with Rochester and putting on some muscle. Could be a different player next season. A keeper. Kulich needs to grow into his body. Young and doing well at his level. No reason to rush. He's 18. Quote

Expand I think JJP is faster than Quinn in a straight line race. I think he will be bigger and more physical than Quinn. Quinn has better edge work and can dangle through traffic. Quinn has a better shot. The biggest difference is hockey IQ, Quinn has it in spades. 2 1 Quote

Brawndo Posted February 28, 2023 Author Report Posted February 28, 2023 Recent Sabres F who played in the AHL as D+1 Girgensons: 0.27 PPG Nylander: 0.43 Quinn: 0.60 Kulich: 0.78 Quinn had a shorten season with injury 1 Quote
Weave Posted February 28, 2023 Report Posted February 28, 2023 My early observation is that JJ is probably going to need to change his game somewhat to be successful with Buffalo. We have so much offensive talent up front right now and JJ isn’t likely getting in front of any of it. And in a couple of seasons he should have a fair amount of pressure behind him. I think JJ is going to need to develop some jam to differentiate his game from what’s on the roster, and what’s coming. He’s got the frame to do it. Quote
