The Sabres made an awful pick with Quinn.
Quinn also could be pretty good
Both can be true
The defense of everything the Harbor Center GM has done is mind boggling.
We finished last and are trying to finish last again - sbroads24
So even if he's good, it's a bad pick? |

That's fine. Some will say he's poop simply because of his draft position, some will wait to see the results. - TheSabresTaco
I hope the kid is great. I doubt he will be. I think he will be a decent middle six player.
There’s nothing wrong with a Drew Stafford career. |

The Penguins drafted Jordan Staal 2nd overall. Good player, bad pick as Jonathon Toews was the better prospect and turned out to be 2x the player |

Teams reach every year. The difference here is, with the front office moves they made last summer, they lost any benefit of the doubt. Almost no one is confident in the guys making the decision.
The best defense of KA so far is that he may not have actually been in charge. It's a weak defense.

Fair enough. If Rossi is Toews and Quinn is Staal then it's a goof up |

With all that being said -
I look forward to every time Quinn scores reading people on here post
“But I thought Quinn sucked” even though 0 people are saying he’s going to suck or be a complete bust |

Not sure if someone’s mentioned this but wasn’t everyone pretty unanimously mad when the bills picked Josh, that seems to have worked out good.
Seems harsh to say the guys a terrible pick when he’s not played 1 nhl game yet. |

Sam Reinhart is a very good hockey player, top line talent but Leon was the right pick.
Mittelstadt looks like an NHL player but Martin Necas looks better.
List goes on and on.
Do I think Jack Quinn can be a 20+20 guy at the NHL level ? Yes I do.
Do I think though that Rossi, Lundell, and Perfetti can have a bigger impact on their teams performance though ? Yes I do.
Being happy about Jack Quinn being an NHL contributor with the players that were on the board at pick 8 is a low bar. |

Yeah I hear ya.
I still think as long as you get a good, serviceable player, it's not a total failure. If Zegras ends up better than Cozens or Rossi ends up better than Quinn, that's not great but what really sucks is getting a dud like Nylander. Thankfully Botterill turned that into something good |

I was hoping for Rossi at 8 tbh and I think it’s risky to bet on a 1 year performance, but I’d expect Quinn to be a 30 goal a year type player for where we picked him, and who he was taken before.
If he’s not I’d say that’s a fair assessment and we should have gone with a Rossi or lundell, but I’m willing to give him his chance to show he can be a better or equal player to those mentioned.
Time will tell

Every player develops differently, we won't now about who's better for a couple years. |

I was one of them and I am not ashamed to admit it. 99.5% of the time that kind of pick goes exactly the way that people expect it to. |

There were a few people that wanted Leon over Reinhart before that draft.
Ditto Sergachev over Nylander. |

That’s fair.
I also was in the Cozens > Zegras boat.
It’s a moot argument if the players are both 2nd line producers.
What I’m worried about is Quinn being a serviceable NHL’er and is leaving a potential high impact top 6 forward on the board.
That isn’t good, especially with the fact we now have a lack of Center’s in the pipeline (without seeing a Jack Eichel return) |
