2020 NHL Draft Part 11

[le_sean]

Quinn -

FOR: Top 5-7 pick, elite speed and skills.

AGAINST: Lots of skill but lacks size and speed. Older prospect without a track record. Could be a mirage.

Funny how one scout sees elite speed and another sees a lack of speed.

Gunler
Lapierre
Wallinder
/ALL

Lapierre -

FOR: Was a top ten pick before injuries. Skilled and smart.

Against: Wouldn't use a top 50 pick on him. Injuries. Can't score. Lacks pace.

Gunler -

FOR - Grown on him. Skilled, makes plays, big shot and physical. Will score and play powerplay.

AGAINST - Inconsistent compete. Hard to trust. Needs someone to create for him. 30-40 range.

I know.. I feel like speed should be pretty cut and dry, but we see this type of dissension even here.

Possibly saw him at different times of the season? Word was he improved quite a bit, but that drastically in one season?

I always thought he had good speed tbh. But maybe he was exhausted one night

I don't think there's much of an argument to be made against Quinn being a solid skater, unless you're mostly basing it on the 2018-19 version of him or you've seen him on a very bad night.

There might also be a big gap in the quality of the scouting... I feel that some like a player and have rose colored glasses exaggerate everything and you have the opposite where they are down on him for some reason can’t see any redeemable quality...
