Player Discussion Jack Quinn, RW (8th overall, 2020): Named AHL Rookie of the Year

[Intermission]

Jack Quinn cuts that puck off and takes it wide, bringing it backwards, yes.

The league altered the rule - as long as the player keeps moving forward himself...

I think the rule should allow this goal, but it probably doesn't.

So he has to move himself forward or forward toward the net?

I love Quinn. I deeply dislike shootouts.

LETS GO AMERKS

I think the rule needs to clearly define 'stickhandling' which it does not.
A shooter can advance the puck while he is deking, switching feet, and even himself going backward.
Both the shooter and the puck may not retreat, that's about all I know for sure.
Once the shooter is moving laterally, the rules about stickhandling and forward motion (player or puck)
is ambiguous and is a time bomb figuring go off at some certain point in a key game.

What does everyone think ? Does he start next year with the big club ? Or do they leave him down for some more seasoning ?

I think he is up to start the year.

He must've been the runaway winner. There's no AHL rookie with a significant amount of games that was even close to Quinns scoring rate per game.

Cool to see Oglevie there. I wonder if he transitions to a coaching role at some point.

About as close to a 100% chance he starts next year in Buffalo.

 

[Chainshot]

He doesn't need more time. He's ready. Peterka is very, very close too.

A bunch calling him fun or funny, but the Peterka one (coyote) and then Eliot's long thought process both had me laughing.

Makes sense why KA and DG are basically saying there won't be many additions in the off-season to the roster...Think they got a majority of the players in place now they just have to let them play and develop...keeping the cap hit low will be a big plus going forward too

Only thing they need to throw money at this off season is the goalie situation.

I heard "chaotic" from Peterka.

 

[GrierIsGod123]

I'd sooner send Krebs down than keep Quinn in Roch next year. He's primed and ready for the show. Super exciting prospect.

That makes much more sense.

Who wants to see Peterka/Cozens/Quinn line?

Who wants to see Peterka/Cozens/Quinn line?

This has come up before and unless they think that Cozens could be the defensive consciousness of that line, I don't see it outside of a "fun" line that plays high event hockey and is not great in their own end.

I would rather not have JJP & Quinn on the same line together and have something like Quinn-Cozens-Okposo or Peterka-Cozens-Girgensons or the like.

 

[elchud]

I'd like to see Mitts with Krebs and Quinn. Instant offense line.

You're downplaying Quinn's defensive acumen. He's better than Cozen's in the defensive zone.

Yeah, I like that idea of giving the youngins some sandpaper on their lines.

Have Asplund anchor the "fourth" line. Assuming Hino re-signs, Peterka could start in Rochester but we'll see.

Quinn is obviously a lock for Buffalo.

Where does Mitts fit in (assuming he's also still here)? With Asplund? Skinner-Tage-Tuch are the top line.
