I promise to never forget.
I agree he deserves at least a look(don't think Cappy will even think about giving him a chance down the stretch this year as he almost always chooses vets to play). I have watched him play and I just cannot decide if he is '4A' or NHL material. The only way to tell would to be to give him a shot. Decent size and speed, good play-maker. Fun fact; he was originally drafted in the 3rd round by Detroit but then redrafted 2 years later by the Islanders in the 6th round. Almost always plays center.

Unfortunately, many players get buried in the minors, when they are every bit as deserving to get a chance to play in the N.H.L as other more fortunate players get. How many current Islanders, including Strome, Bailey, Strait, Zidlicky or a few others would set Bridgeport on fire if they were playing down there or would they just be the same as they are here. Timing is everything when playing in the N.H.L and its definitely time Quinne got a chance, as he has earned it, especially when some of our guys take it for granted.

Definitely a timing thing. If you're on a bad club, you're more likely to get a call up for playing well than if you're with an organization that has a lot of very established players. If you're a defenseman on a team stacked with defense, well, you're not getting called up unless the injury bug strikes. Just take a look at how our prospects have struggled to crack the lineup. Some guys just never get a chance because they'd be bottom players at the NHL level if they made it. Very situational for those guys.
I believe Quine may just be getting a serious shot heading into next season. I just don't know where. I believe his ELC concludes this summer.
I suspect he'll get a two-way contract from some team. If he is an NHLer to be, I sure hope the NYI know this and keep him on board.

No logic to letting him go though. He seems to be making good progress and all he needs is a qualifying offer. An injury to the 4th line next season and he could be given a shot.
Big changes at BPT . . .

Man I hope BP can do it. What a turn around for them.
It's real special too because they have been plagued with injuries.

I think about once per month (per team). Having games on Friday/Saturday/Sunday is good for attendance.

It would be a real shame if they choked. They may have to play the juggernaut Toronto Marlies, who may be the most dominant team since the 11-12 Norfolk Admirals. Good opportunity for MDC to get a good sample of pro hockey before his contract kicks in.
There is actually a chance we might end up playing the Toronto Marlies(if we finish 5th in our division). Wonder if that can motivate him
All that being said depending on how this weekend goes we could finish as high as 3rd and as low as 6th
