Oh I have no doubt that Jack Quinn will be an integral price of the core. A monster 2 way PPG player if he can just stay healthy.

He is like a right handed Hossa in terms of impact at least that is the ceiling I see

 

[Ehran]

He's had one practice, correct?

Yeah.

It seems odd to go from injury -> surgery -> no team practice -> then 8 weeks later we wake up and he is 100% participant and playing in a game within 24 hours.

Normally you would see a more measured approach, building through multiple practices to 100%.

We have seen a lot of injuries in a lot of sports and surgery/8 weeks away from practicing to then suddenly 100% go at practice with no on ramp and playing live within 24 hours is not the standard for any of them.*

*unless teams are fighting for a championship.

I think he's probably been on the ice with the dev/training staff while they were on the road. I doubt they would put him in with only one day on the ice. Even they aren't that inept.

From what I have “heard” the surgery was not a reconstruction but rather a pin to assure the bone healed in the right place. Once the calcification happened they removed the pins. 8 weeks is about right for that type of procedure based on his health and age. Fwiw.

Do you REALLY want to put money on that?

I think you might be underestimating this coaching staff in your assessment....

As an avid non-gambler... sure. 10 bucks to a charity of the other's choice?

Even with their ineptness, it would be beyond shocking if this was done after just one day on the ice.

Eh, sorry was meant to be rhetorical.
