Getting rid of scorers for guys who "play the right way"

I would guess Quinn has never struggled like this in his life and is having a difficult time figuring out how to get out of a slump   Now he's in his own head and over thinking 

I won't be surprised to see Kulich kept up as long as they have a roster spot for him and Quinn gets a stint in the press box.   Quinn will figure it out eventually 

luckily the Sabres finally have the depth to sit guys when they are struggling 

I’m not sure there’s a compelling argument to be made quite yet that we “finally” have depth, at all. Is there a better reference point than record? 

Team average point total per 82, Kevyn Adams’ teams, his previous 4 seasons as GM: 76 points

Team current point pace, Adams year 5: 77 points 

Serious question: how big does the sample size need to get before we adjudge 76 points per season to be Adams’s wheelhouse? I struggle to see how the record this year, so far, is indicative of improved depth.

Are we hoping the record is unrepresentative thus far, this year, and coincidentally just looks nearly identical to the previous 4 seasons through almost a quarter of the year now? Yes I suppose that’s the hope

If that isn’t a sobering statement, I don’t know what is.

The bold - Sitting out will help Quinn in the long run.  He needs to sit out a few and watch, and then simplify his game.  Stop thinking, move his feet, and start shooting more too.

In defense of an acquaintance ... if sitting down Quinn (also, no Quinner or Quinsie or other playful nicknames until he starts playing better) to watch the video of him not doing good hockey is not working ... why did they fire head video guy Matt Smith last year?! Inquiry! I demand an inquiry!
