Quenneville is the Mueller of forwards, except he scores even less.
Indecisive and passes on all playmaking to his teammates, which would be fine if he could actually put himself into scoring areas. The NHL game seems to completely negate every tool he’s got.
Mueller is better at his position than Quenneville is at his.
The problem with Quenneville is that he's supposed to be an offensive player, but he sucks at offense. He's supposed to be an offensive player and he doesn't score points. Only in the preseason and in the AHL.
Q is done with the devils after this year. He puts up numbers in the ahl but plays a different game at the nhl level (can't score for his life). Also I get McLeod is still very raw as a pro player but what exactly has he done good besides win face offs (which is nice since we are a base,net team every year in face off %) ? He turned the puck over a few times tonight when I really watched him , he didn't look to have that high end speed while skating through the neutral zone on some broken plays tonight.
Quenneville isn't even a prospect here anymore. I defended him a lot before this year and said that while I don't believe he has a future here long term, I still thought he could be an NHL player. And now I'm not sure he will be, at all, anywhere in the league.
Between Shero's damning ''He only played so much last year because we stunk'' comments and his insanity filled auditions this year, I think he's done here after this year.
He may still be here if he passes through waivers, but I don't think we'll be calling him up anymore after this. He's not even a legit prospect in the organization anymore. Binghamton could use him next year if he passes through waivers and makes it back there, but the NHL team doesn't need him.
I would trade Quenneville to Utica for Reid Boucher. That's probably all you'd get for that guy at this point.
