Yes, how dare we would like our favorite hockey team to take the better player (at least in our perception). For shame really. It's almost like wanting a top 8 pick to play like a top 8 pick is a questionable take sometimes.

What’s funny is some of the people criticizing us for talking about Quinn love to rail on Dahlin anytime they feel it’s warranted.

Sort of the same thing, right? Wanting more from a high pick?

Or maybe give him a chance beyond some injured AHL games and two preseason games but whatever you want an 8th overall pick to play like is your own opinion

Two preseason games to three years. They are precise in comparison. Please compare more.

I WANT him to exceed the expectation of where he was picked. I'm currently not seeing it. I'm watching the guys around him who I would rather have been selected starting to make impacts. I don't want Quinn traded at this point, if that helps. Again, I want him to prove me wrong. Doesn't mean I can't see and have an opinion on his current play/standing.

Dahlin is 17 months older than Quinn.

Quinn doesn’t even remotely look like he should crack an NHL lineup right now.

Dahlin is entering year 4 in the NHL, and has looked every bit like a top pair defender when not being coached by Ralph Kreuger.

One was the first pick overall in the draft who was a 16, 17 year old alleged extraordinary player the other was an 8th overall where there is a drop in the level of talent from the top two, maybe top 1, to top 5, to the next few in the draft so comparing the first overall to the eight is ridiculous.

2020 wasn’t as deep as 2019, however was still a good draft class.

There are several players that look very good right now from that class.

They shouldn't be compared. But I can compare Rossi/Perfetti to him. And it is early, but things are not looking in the correct direction

Just be patient, you can compare Powers and Dahlin in couple of years and then you might have a leg to stand on.

Quinn in a couple of years to Mitts if comparison is so necessary. Two preseason games? That's a little impatient.

Why does it have to be in the Sabres system. Why can't we compare to the guys we could have had. That was, after all, the point of your first post about armchair GMs and the Rossi talk.
