Player Discussion Peyton Krebs C/LW -- Re-signed 2 years, $1.45m AAV

[Zman5778]

At what point does tangible evidence overtake potential in these polls? So far Krebs curve is behind Quinn.

In his only 7 games at the AHL level, he has 10 points. He was obviously rushed into the NHL this year due to an injury-riddled Vegas team. And remember, he lost some developmental time due to that Achilles injury. Severe Achilles injuries often take 2 full years to recover from.

I am not worried about his "tangible evidence" in the least.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

Vegas never struggled until krebs entered the lineup. Really makes you think

Move him for Luke Tuch?

 

[Zman5778]

I'm not used to doing the right thing with prospects. I'm in a bit of shock.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Lol based on what? Krebs looked slow on his NHL Vegas call up, it's why all the sudden Vegas added him. Quinn is absolutely demolishing the AHL.

Krebs was doing very well in the AHL, too. He's probably been a bit rushed because of Vegas' injuries. Remember he had that achilles injury in his draft year and had a disjointed season last year (like basically everyone), so his development path has had some hurdles in it. He's got the talent, though.

 

[Reddawg]

If they do put Krebs between Quinn & JJP, here are their combined AHL stats for this season with Krebs having 5a in 2GP for Henderson this season:

16GP 7G 18A 25 Pts

I’m friggin giddy over the idea of that line gelling and being successful for years to come. Thinking about getting Amerks tix next Friday to see them play.

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

That reminds me of one of those 04-05 Amerks lines. So much talent there.

I'm over-the-moon about Krebs. I honestly think he's a perfect playmaker for Quinn. Put those two together for years to come.

100% agree.

 

[SundherDome]

Would Krebs be #2 in our prospect ratings? Quinn is on fire right now.

3rd

[Sabre the Win]

Based on the fact that I'm not willing to write off a highly talented skilled young player after 9 NHL games for a team that's struggling?

I'm not writing off Krebs, I am asking how you would even have him ahead of Quinn at this point in their careers, Quinn is ahead of Krebs on the curve.

 

[Fezzy126]

Kinda sucks that the kid gets shipped out of Vegas 3 months before he turns 21

He didn't even get a chance to (legally) enjoy sin city

Yeah I'm not writing off Krebs or denying his potential he has, this is more saying that Quinn deserves to be #1 in our prospect poll right now. It's not a knock on Krebs its more of a boon for Quinn because we have huge potential now.

I have Power at #1 regardless of Krebs.

You say that like it is obvious and inarguable when I reckon it's almost entirely based on a two week AHL hot streak. It is totally reasonable for anyone to have one over the other -- including JJ for that matter.

 

[Fjordy]

I have Power at #1 regardless of Krebs.

Me too. He already looks solid #1 D. Calm, smart, makes the right decisions 99% of the time, even his offensive play seems to have been underestimated.

 

[Jim Bob]

I honestly think that given the pandemic, it is hard to say that either player is ahead or behind right now.

They both have a small sample size at the AHL level (7gp for Krebs and 22gp for Quinn) with Krebs being slightly above a PPG and Quinn being slightly below a PPG. And their numbers at last year's WJCs were similar with Krebs being slightly above a PPG and Quinn being slightly below a PPG.

And they are similar ages as they are both 2001s with Krebs being a week shy of being 8 months older than Quinn.

 

[These Are The Days]

So happy for you guys. I can't say it enough and can't stay away. Sabre fans were easily my favorite visitors to Amalie over the years and maybe that's what's doing this for me so much. I almost can't believe what I'm reading there. Get Krebs over to Rochester and when the time is right, get him working with Jack Quinn. And as the season goes along, get them working so well they could make each other's breakfast just how the other likes it.

What a freaking win by Adams. And LMFAO! Who would've ever guessed Okposo and Skinner's contracts would one day be what keeps you guys in cap compliance? Life sure is one ironic bitch ain't it?

 

[stokes84]

I think I’m more interested in Rochester than Buffalo. Gonna fire up that AHL season pass again.

 

[SabresFan26]

Trading Eichel for Krebs and Tuch is my early Christmas gift. Krebs is Briere-level skill with Drury’s leadership skills.

Sign me up. Him and Cozens can be co captains

 

[MarkusKetterer]

new avatar, thanks

It’s even better as yours is half greyed out

 

[2 others]

So basically he is the new Reinhardt in terms of hockey IQ (or at least close to it), but with a higher motor and compete level?

 

[TehDoak]

What's nice is with Kreb's he's already passed 9 games, so his contract won't slide if we leave him in the minors all year. My guess is he'll get a good bit on NHL time. Quinn and Peterka might be limited because the front office wants that 1st entry level year to slide.

 

[zuikan]

If they put Krebs in the middle of Peterka and Quinn I’ll get the Ahl.tv package again.

 

[The Blunder Years]

Best case scenario we just got a ROR/Barzal hybrid

 

[missingmika]

That tidbit that he played defense for a couple of games for the Ice in his final WHL season due to injuries and picked up 6 points in 2 games is just the funniest.

High-motor, high-character player with leadership and skill? Yes please.

[valet]

thank god, doing it right

 

[zenthusiast]

Has he said anything publicly yet?
