Been pretty quiet about the injury except for that it's lower body and the MRI shows that timeline.
I agree, the steal of the draft is rarely a top 10 pick or heck even a first rounder really.
Another Saber prospect Devon Levi ironically might end up being the "steal of the draft" as he was picked 212th

I would trade Holtz so fast for Quinn it's not even funny. Quinn is 10x the player Holtz is. I don't think there is a single thing that someone could tell me that Holtz does better than Quinn other than having a marginally harder shot and release. I've had Quinn in my top 3 since draft day 2020 and I have seen 0 to move him from that spot. If anything, my opinion of him has only risen. The Sabres saying yes to Lundell or Jarvis would be an absolutely criminal mistake.

You can't tell who the steal of the draft is for 4 or 5 years. You need that long for your Brayden Point's et al. to really pop in the NHL.

It was putrid defense is what it was
Taking nothing away from the great talent Quinn is, but he skates from his own into the slot and took a shot from the hash marks/ top of the circles. Horrific defense

Nobody was claiming it was a goal of the year or anything. The defense actually did pretty much what they should have on a 5 on 3 - the guy back stayed in front of him, Quinn just sniped it past the goalie. Pretty nice shot.

It is the AHL after all, but watching Quinn live- his speed really puts defenders on their toes. This won't be the last time you see putrid defense when Quinn gets in one on one against a defender; the combination of his shot and speed is lethal, and really difficult to defend when he's entering the zone at full speed.
I witnessed a similar play to this one live a few months ago. Shorthanded, blazing speed up the wing, crossed the blue line one on one with a defender, the defender looked like a fart turned to a shart, Quinn crossed it to the middle of the ice, and ripped a wrister past the goalie from just outside the hashmarks. One of the best goals I've seen live in the AHL. Kid's got skills for days.

This kid had mono and then was injured shortly after recovery, and is still tearing up the AHL. No doubt in my mind he'd have earned a spot on the big club if not for mono and the injury:
Sniped one 4 minutes in already tonight. The kid is too good for the AHL.

He's earned a spot despite the mono and injury. Sabres gotta call him up. He's outgrown the AHL.

We have such high hopes for this kid. Let's hope he lives up to them.

Another casual 3 point game. Danced through the defense to set up the OT winner.
