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

He's under contract to an NHL team, making him ineligible.
Right now I am thinking that it's the calling up he trade deadline that is holding back the Sabres from Quinn, Peterka and Krebs up for regular roster spots.
The only way to have these guys occupy regular roster spots right now is to waive some players. With the TDL approaching, I am guessing that Adams will be active and there are a number of Sabres who could draw interest - given the Covid situation, taxi squads, and the playoffs.
I believe that Eakins, Hinostroza, Hayden, Jankowski, and maybe even Bjork might draw some interest from other teams from among the forward ranks. But until then, I think the only way Quinn et. el will see AHL action is due to emergency recall. After the TDL, I think that these guys will get a chance to play regularly for the Sabres and then the Amerks again in the playoffs

I'm torn on bringing him up. While he has absolutely earned it and could really gain a good amount of experience this season i also think he could potentially have a much easier time doing so next season along with Samuelsson and JJ. Seems like he's really bonded with his teammates there in Rochester, and i just imagine they would all be extremely pumped to all be on the big club together pushing each other which could also really keep the motivation and culture in that locker room in a good place. Also for purely selfish reasons i think he could have a decent shot at a Calder if he plays a full season, but that's just a selfish thing for me personally.
Really? I saw some insider tweets awhile back that had him as a player on Canada's long list. I just took it at face that ahl/signed junior players could go.

He's on an NHL contract. He's not going to the Olympics.

I forgot how many games Jack missed but this looks really nice now. Hard to ignore.

I was on the Quinn hype train before the draft but was disappointed when they picked him over Rossi, purely because of position as I didn't expect Rossi to be availableSo it was YOU AND Devine that pushed for him over Rossi ?

They've gotta call him back up soon, right? How do you deny a guy who--already having the season he was--gets sent back down and scores 8 points in 3 games?

I know this is hard to believe, but I was not on the Quinn hype train.

Shoulda got one game in
Same. Not because it was Quinn, because I knew he was a very good player, but because it wasn’t Rossi.
It was like this past draft, where my top 3 forwards were Beniers, McTavish and Svechkov. It’d be like taking McTavish over Beniers. Good pick but not the preferred one.
I was neutral because you almost never know what you got. I wasn't freaking out as some.

How was the quality of competition? I saw a tweet the other day from someone who covers the Sabres that Quinn should stay up since they didn't think the quality of competition, especially ECHL goalies, is not that good right now in the AHL.
Went back and saw the correction tweets to those early lists.. That's really disappointing, I thought he was good to go... In that case yeah let's give him a half dozen games here at least.
I saw that complaint too. Both of the Sens goalies are pros. Sogaard is still a quality prospect and Gustavsson is very much an AHL player, not an ECHLer. The guy playing for the Comets the other night, sure, and the Comets are going through their own COVID and recall issues... but they're still the top team in the AHL.
So he now has 17 goals in 23 games. League leaders are tied with 18 in 30, and Mersch is tied with Jack but has 32 games played. That's just crazy, even people who were high on Jack could not have expected this kind of production.

Didn't see that before. I thought with how Mersch flinched that it defected off his shoulder.
Quinn 4 goals. Still a -1 (damn goalie)
GOALOFSSON
Game Changer

Yes, have some!
Wait a minute. So, if the goalies in the AHL right now aren't that good, Then Quinn is getting an advantage, and benefitting from lesser quality goalies. How does having him up with the big club with pro goalies benefit him? He's likely not going to get 8 pts in 2 games against NHL goalies.
