Jack Quinn


Moves young players with potential from positions of depth to positions of weakness on both teams.
Sure. Some King's fans may like Spence more that I do. King's have too many D.

Don't know if King's would give Jack Quinn any ice time. They don't like skilled players that don't grind in corners.
 
I don't think Buffalo does this one-for-one. I'd value Quinn more, and I like Spence (even though he's plateaued at this point and isn't particularly impressive in the playoffs).

I think with the puck-moving talent on the left side in Buffalo you'd want RD that compliment that skillset defensively as opposed to a small puck-moving righty in Spence.

We need guys who can play well in their own zone. Admittedly west coast teams, I don’t get to see much, but his defensive analytics are superb. Do you think that’s more of a result of his partner/matchups than his skillset?

Wouldn't really want to play him above the 3rd pair. If he had a better partner maybe Spence would look better.

I had this exact thought for a trade proposal earlier today reading the Clarke thread. I think LA is being really dumb with how they're using Clarke, but trading Spence for a right handed middle-6 winger both opens up a spot for Clarke and also adds a position of need for them.

The big thing I was unsure about is whether Spence was really the kind of defenseman Buffalo would be targeting. I don't feel like he is, but RHD is such a big need for Buffalo that I was wondering if they'd overlook that. If LA had that kind of bigger defensive RHD, I think LA and Buffalo would make fantastic trade partners.
