Cameron who could barely produce in the Q, Torquato who couldnt skate etc. Its obvious you havent watched him if youre going to compare him to those players. He produced over a ppg last year, was a second overall OHL pick and is a solid 2 way player.
Hes one of our best skating prospects and you compare him to Torquato, you let guys like Nestrasil and Coetzee go to make room for young prospects, you dont just let decent young guys walk because you have a lot of decent young guys.
Sorry, man, You draw a line somewhere.
You might want to take 5'11 Quine. But 6'2 Nestrasil has something our organization lacks.
Definitely dont love everything lol I dont even think Quine is that great of a prospect but when youre questioning if he should get a contract I think its pretty obvious he should based on his skating alone. You dont have to be great to get an NHL contract and play in the minor leagues, but you also shouldnt just let a guy whose putting up over a ppg for 2 years, is good defensively and one of the wings fastest prospects just walk either. But like I said, one of us watch these guys and the other one looks at plus minus.
How many on here would look at the stat sheet and say Ferraro didnt deserve a contract?
Quine is a good skater. But he's not Helm fast or Athansiou fast. He's not so fast he gets a contract just because.
We've got 51 guys under contract now. We have a 50 contract limit.
Here are the guys whose contracts end in 2013
White. Cleary. Filppula. Howard. Brunner. Smith. Nyquist. Miller. Mursak. Andersson. McCollum. Pare. MacDonald. Pearce. Lashoff. Raedeke.
Guys we may lose without replacing with NHLers -- Cleary. Miller.
49 Contracts.
Prospects/players we cut bait on. Mursak. Pare. Macdonald. Learche. Raedeke. Lashoff.
Down to 43 -- thought I don't think this team cuts Lashoff and Mursak. so maybe we're still as high as 45.
Prospects we haven't signed yet.
Backman. Nedolmlel.Marchenko. Quine. Hudon. Marshall. Jensen.
I see Backman, Marchenko and Jensen ahead of Quine. And maybe Nedomlel, too.
So now we're at 46 or 47 to 48 or 49.
This assumes no other UFA prospects or UFA signings.
There's not much room for Quine.
What if we want a goalie for toledo?
What if we sign Backman and Marchenko but they stay in Europe for a year?
The only thing I can really think of in Quine's favor is that next year, the only decisions we need to make are on Paterson, Athanasiou and Bodin (very little shot). Frk is already signed and Mckee and DeHaas are a long ways away yet.
