Jack Quinn, what is your expectation for his 2024 season?

[Getpucksdeep]

30 goals if 82gp.  Skills aside, he's the catalyst with the right attitude and relationship with his teammates. Everyone elevates when he's in the lineup. It's gonna be fun.  

[R_Dudley]

24g 33a,

I am basing that on Lindy not playing a run and gun style but more of a man-on-man style like we saw in later round of playoffs. PP will be important and OT points will go up.  

[matter2003]

if healthy, 25-30 goals, 65-75 points...Quinn is a real one. Was our best player more than a few nights when he came back.

Edited July 16 by matter2003

[B-U-F-F-A-L-O]

36g - 35a = 71 pts…. Plus 9 on the season*.

* - If the line of: Benson - Cozens - Quinn stays relatively healthy**

** - If the line of: JJ - TNT - Tuch stays relatively healthy***

*** - Or Kulich and/or Rosen matures this year, ie gains muscle, and they can show in Rochester that their ready to fill in and do just that****

****- I can’t help it, it’s all connected…But that’s your winning top six right there*****

*****- And: Zucker - McLeod is a NHL winning 3rd line******

****** - And: Malenstyn - Lafferty - Kube - Is a winning 4th line.*******

******* - Blah, blah, blah, our defense kicks ass.********

********- Our goaltending too….

 

We’re in the playoffs, baby!

I don't see him as a minus 7 under Lindy.   It does not track with his overall play last season.  

75 games.   25 goals, 28 assists,   +8

78 GP

Healthy ... A very respectable 25g - 30a and a two way presence. He is a plus player for this team. 

If he catches a healthy streak season over season, I see a 30-35 player. I'm hopeful.

Quinn has the potential to be a pt a game player in the NHL.  Perhaps a better version of Alex Tuch if he can stay healthy.  His pace last season was 27g 30a.  A healthy Quinn goes 32g 40a next season.

I appreciate your optimism, but this is wishful thinking. Quinn’s ceiling is 35 goals, 25 assists. I also don’t really see  similarities between him and Tuch? Tuch’s game is about speed, whereas Quinn’s is about his shooting.

[Night Train]

20/20 if healthy.

79 points from our 2nd line RW? May it be so!

Will Quinn end up with closer to 40 points or 80 points? I'd bet dollars to donuts that he'll end up north of 60 points and therefore closer to 80.

This one struck me as the most realistic.

My main hopes are two-fold:

(1) That he can stay healthy and play 70+ games.

(2) That he can continue his ascent as personal lord and saviour of my Sabres fandom. There's no fancy stats that can properly explain or capture why I love watching that guy play. Godspeed, J. Quinn!

Quinn’s game isn’t about his shooting 

It’s merely one of his tools. His game isn’t centered around it

wtf?

[That Aud Smell]

If a player with Quinn’s vision and imagination has a ceiling of 25 assists, then the Sabres are doomed.

Also, he has a good, heavy NHL shot. But that’s not “the focus” of his game.

I'm thinking that by the end of this season Quinn may very well be the 1W and Tuch the 2W, at least in terms of 5-on-5 ice time.

[LGR4GM]

Quinn, Tuch, and Krebs are all currently in Buffalo. I think there are other guys here as well. 

 

[Night Train]

Until Quiinn and Muel can show they can stay healthy, it's hard to depend on them for the long haul. Hope it changes.

Quinn has 2 NHL seasons, the first he played 75 games.

I get it. Rooting for him but that's 2 out of 3 years missing a chunk of games with 3 + injuries.

Yeah, with mononucleosis. Hardly counts as an injury as much as it does just plain bad luck.

Jack Hughes was a minus player all but 1 season with Lindy as the HC.

Jack Hughes is a different player, in a different position and with a different role.

And those 75 I. His first year, Granato was roaring the last couple forwards to start the season. I don’t know if anyone remembers if he missed any games due to injury or just that rotation.
