2021 Buffalo Sabres Prospects
Have the Buffalo Sabres finally hit rock bottom? After a disastrous season, the team has started a full-scale rebuild. Sam Reinhart and Rasmus Ristolainen have been traded, and Jack Eichel will be next, it’s just a matter of time. The team also lost starting goalie Linus Ullmark, and backup Carter Hutton in free agency and replaced them with Craig Anderson and Aaron Dell. Everything seems to be lining up for another rough season in Buffalo, but at least there is some hope on the horizon.
Here is a preview of a random Prospect on the list
#3 Prospect Jack Quinn
With the OHL Season also delayed, Jack Quinn went to the Canadian World Junior Camp before playing a single game this season. He made the team and scored a goal and five points in the tournament. Overall though it was a bit of a disappointment as Quinn saw fewer minutes of ice time as the tournament went along. He then joined Rochester in the AHL. Quinn impressed in his AHL time with two goals and seven assists for nine points in 15 games.
Skating
Quinn’s skating drastically improved between his first and second OHL season and that continued this year. He is much faster and has better acceleration and this has made him far more dangerous. They now rate as good to very good. His edgework and agility have also improved. Combining these skills, Quinn is able to make quick moves on the defence, and once he gets by them he can accelerate to the net. He is also stronger on his skates, with better balance, and the ability to fight through checks and get to the front of the net. This also helps him to win battles on the boards. This is an aspect of his game that should continue to improve as he matures and becomes stronger in his lower body.
