Can we just ever have something nice, and it not get dinged up immediately. FFS.

No.

EDIT, because it needs to be repeated:

 

[Team Cozens]

If Elias Pettersson can be called EP40, I like the idea of Q22 for Quinner.

 

[truthbluth]

4-6 weeks. Fml

Can’t really fault him for Covid or mono, guess when this one is healed and he’s back we’ll find out if it’s the same reinjury or not.

Yes I can. Stop licking things!

 

[dasaybz]

Any idea how soon after the All Star break he's going to be back? Haven't heard anything on him.

It's only been 10 days on a 4-6 week recovery so probably not until March.

Wheeler has Quinn as the Sabres #3 prospect in his annual ranking of NHL prospect pools (Sabres are #1)

Wheeler’s 2022 NHL prospect pool rankings: No. 1 Buffalo Sabres – The Athletic

3. Jack Quinn, RW/LW, 20 (Buffalo Sabres/Rochester Americans)
Quinn’s play is silencing critics one at a time at this point. He’s having an unbelievable season in any context, but especially so considering he’s returning from a serious hernia injury. Quinn has an A-level shot (both through a standard shooting motion and off of curl and drags or catch-and-release sequences) that he can score with from medium-to-long range. He’s a right-handed shot, can play both wings (though he prefers his off wing). He’s diligent and counted-upon off the puck as a detail-oriented winger. He’s got a pro frame that he’ll be able to continue to fine-tune. He has proven this year that his skating deserved better marks (especially through his crossovers) in the lead-up to the draft. He has proven that, despite his late birthday, he was early in his late-blooming development track in his draft year. He impresses more and more in puck control getting from the outside to the inside. Quinn is a well-rounded winger who can play off of a variety of linemate types. He’s got great off-puck anticipation to complement his shot. Somehow, despite his eye-popping AHL production this year, it has felt like he has found new levels as the season has gone on. With continued effort to get stronger physically, there’s a 30-goal guy in the NHL in there. I flip-flopped on ranking him above Krebs here, which I would not have done before the season began.

 

[Waterfowlist]

Is he coming back soon?

 

[Old Navy Goat]

Is he coming back soon?

Was listed as being a few weeks away from practicing by Appert. They'll probably ease him back in for the playoffs

 

[tsujimoto74]

Back on the ice!

 

[Dirty Dog]

Yes!

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Back on the ice!

At least some good news in these grim times.
