who predicted us picking him at all lol??Who still wants Rossi over him?
who predicted us picking him at all lol??
When Jersey used the pick ahead of us to take Holtz, a friend texted "Sabres have their choice of Rossi or Perfetti!" I texted back (somewhat sarcastically) "So watch them take Quinn, LOL." I was pretty shocked (and a little disappointed) when they actually picked him, but very happy now.who predicted us picking him at all lol??
Believe it or not, but I actually did. Not sure it was at this forum but I know I predicted it amongst my friends. I watched some games online leading up to the draft and just thought he was dynamite.who predicted us picking him at all lol??
Would be hugeThis is basically unprecidented so comparisons to Pasternak are no longer far-fetched at all.
Never didWho still wants Rossi over him?

No victory laps here, but he may very well be the most talented prospect Ive ever seen play for the Amerks, and Ive been watching them for nearly two decades. Vanek comes close, but that's on a pure goal scorer level- Quinn brings more than just goal scoring.WAAAY to early to take a victory lap on this one. Hopefully that day will come.

And what's wrong with that? Everyone has their favorites. I wanted Rossi at the time, but I said no problem, Adams knows better. I also wanted Zegras in the 2019 draft.Not sure where you were for the draft, but would say like 90% were mad here that we picked Quinn over Rossi. Similar for Cozens over Zegras but not as high of a percentage.
vanek always seemed a little to hesitant anywhere but right in front of the net. it was weird, because we all knew he could skate well, handle the puck with grace, and shoot pretty good too. i feel like his development peaked at like year 2 or 3 because he labeled himself as basically a net front specialist, then it was all down hill with injuries etc.No victory laps here, but he may very well be the most talented prospect Ive ever seen play for the Amerks, and Ive been watching them for nearly two decades.

zegras seems like one of those players that is skilled and will put up points, but not do much more. the offense is valuable, yeah, but cozens is the complete package. over the course of their careers i bet zegras ends up with slightly better stats, but who cares. players like cozens help win you cupsAnd what's wrong with that?

I didn't say it was bad, I just said who I wanted in the draft at the time, I bet not everyone or maybe not even many wanted Cozens on this board, I even remember that a little. Cups are good, but first we need to get into the playoffs. Now I see that we lack such talent as Zegras in attack, such creativity and skill, but also Cozens also looks very good, he just needs to become a more stable player and I think he will become one.zegras seems like one of those players that is skilled and will put up points, but not do much more. the offense is valuable, yeah, but cozens is the complete package. over the course of their careers i bet zegras ends up with slightly better stats, but who cares. players like cozens help win you cups
How similar is Connor Geekie to Kirby Dach?And not for nothing, but Cozens has outshined the guy he was most often compared to in his draft year - Kirby Dach. Dach's taken steps back, somewhat because of injury, but certainly he hasn't been the player he was 3 years ago. In the meantime, Cozens has taken definite strides as a 2-way force. I still see a player reminiscent of Trevor Linden who is just going to control play at both ends of the ice. And of course his history with Quinn within Hockey Canada is also kind of fascinating. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Quinn slots in with the Krebs-Cozens duo if they continue to use that pair (who also have Nats history). Quinn as the high-end finisher there would be really interesting.

I wanted Zegras over Cozens, and still do. I do like Cozens and think he can be a Staal-ish type 2C. By the time Quinn was drafted, I devolved into a "whatever this organization is trash" mindset and hardly paid any attention. I'm only paying attention to this team again since February. Quinn is definitely a great selection and anyone that was touting him pre-draft was spot-on. If Mittelstadt can get close to the player he can be...wow what a pair they would make.Not sure where you were for the draft, but would say like 90% were mad here that we picked Quinn over Rossi.

Nothing at all, but I think we made the right pick.And what's wrong with that? Everyone has their favorites. I wanted Rossi at the time, but I said no problem, Adams knows better. I also wanted Zegras in the 2019 draft.
With Quinn? AbsolutelyNothing at all, but I think we made the right pick.
