[A Star is Burns]

info to come

He was a randomly generated player for the 2021 draft by NHL 15.

 

[A Star is Burns]

His numbers look pretty awful, but whatevs, goalies.

Man this VR stuff is getting impressive!.

 

[GoldiFox]

6'3", sub-0.900 goalies on lock this draft. Goalies are voodoo so who knows.

Holy Quapp, you’re not kidding. Those are worse than Kucharski numbers.

I really don’t get what they see in these goalies who have terrible stats at all levels. All I can see is size. I get we need to draft goalies but if this is their idea of doing so I’d rather pick a skater than a goalie who’s never shown the ability to to stop pucks.

 

[FreshSeabass]

a quick youtube search brings back just one video of him doing a interview and zero highlight packages so.... yeah

It looks like he got straight hammered in the DEL this year. And, you know, everywhere else. But somebody must see something I guess.

I almost made a sick Kucharski burn, but we do have the relative that visits here on occasion.

 

[DaveG]

And let's be fair, it took him a couple schools but Kuch put up pretty good numbers this past year.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I feel like we have grabbed a few guys that played in the U18s this year, including Quapp. Wonder if circumstances necessitated putting a little more stock in those viewings. His numbers didn't look good even there, but maybe he played well for a lesser Germany team or something. Looks like his numbers prior to this year were a bit better. Maybe he just got jerked around a lot this year. Played for several teams.

Either they see something, or there was no skater they liked at this pick so they said: "find a big goalie to pick"

Kick save and a beauty!

His team was not a lesser team, but by far the worst DEL team I've seen in ages. Quapp looked solid for a kid. He's a promising talent, most likely the german starter at the WJC. He needs time, but he's one of the better german goalie talents.

Yeah, and he hasn't got much playing time (even this past year) since we drafted him.

9 games in 18-19
0 games in 19-20
7 games in 20-21

That's not a lot of action unfortunately. Hopefully next year is a normal year and he can build on what he did this year.

[Unsustainable]

Cool

 

[HisIceness]

His name alone means he will kick ass

 

[hi]

Amazing

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Quapp is probably the best goalie to come out of Germany since Niederberger if i’m being honest. He’s a project for sure but for but for a goalie to play full time (for the most part) in the DEL on one of the worst teams as a 17 y/o and to hold his own is impressive.

Has a chance to be Germany’s starter at the u-20 WJC.

Thank you. Always good to hear perspective from folks in the know.

6th round pick in a year where barely anyone even played hockey?

Guarantee there was zero scouting on this kid. He was drafted 100% based on name.

Yup. Probably a lot of Q's, U's, and P's laying around the equipment room. Dundon so cheap...
