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

[TageGod]

I’ve said it before, if JJ can up his PP production he will reach the next tier of scorers

Yeah he outscored almost everyone 5v5 but idk if he is the cerebral type to excel on the PP like Quinn.

I agree and I edited my post as you were typing this. Lol

Can you imagine how mad we would be if Adams had signed Quinn to a long term extension prior to the season?

I would of been happy because it wouldn't have been much.

AFP projected it as 6 years @ $7M AAV

In what world? That sounds like a Peterka extension after his year last year.. not for a guy that was injured all year and has a career high of 14 goals

They had Peterka at 6 yrs @ $7.6M.

They obviously project based on way more than just raw goal numbers.

There is zero chance Quinn would of fetched 7 million. It is not even conceivable

He couldn't get big money and a term because of his health, or rather he shouldn't have, Adams could of course have given him such a contract. It's good that he didn't give it.

Seems like a bridge incoming unless Quinn explodes for at least half a season.

Do y'all remember when we couldn't wait to get rid of that bust Casey Mittlestatt, or when we were willing to trade the horrible Tage Thompson for a bag of pucks? I don't know what caused me to think of that but it just popped in my head randomly.

Maybe you are assuming we want Quinn out the door already and still expect him to excel?

I still have full confidence in Quinn. You don't lose the ability to think the game well, and you don't lose that shot.

Not calling anyone out in particular but just responding to overreact to slumps or stalls in development. I could have posted this in the Cozens thread as well. Before Mitts and Thompson it was Reinhart. I have been a fan of the Sabres long enough and been on these boards long enough to see this happen to tons of players early in their development.

The problem here is that we don't have time to wait, it's not a rebuilding or development season, Adams seems to be in the hot seat already, and Lindy needs good players to get to the playoffs. This doesn't mean Adams should trade Quinn, we just need to at least understand why Quinn is playing poorly and try to fix it, of course, this should be done mainly by the coaching staff and Jack himself.

I think Quinn is gonna pull out of it - but man it is really bad right now.
