I don't see Quenneville playing here past this year. Maybe in the organization, but no on the team.He may be a AAAA player but he’s proven whatever he needed to at the AHL level at this point - 19 points in 19 AHL games on a meh Bingo team this season. You may be right but maybe he takes Noesen’s place as the fourth line project next season. He’s cheap he offers some upside and he offers more than Stafford with or without scoring. They can’t turn over the whole team in one offseason and with deadline selling and attrition they may have four or five holes to fill without canning anyone else. Given the paucity of expendable assets they have to fill those NHL roles somehow. It might be tricky to create more holes that have to be filled with scrap heap guys or overpriced UFAs.
I don't think he's bad, but he's gonna have to score to keep his spot and if he doesn't? I don't see him lasting in the organization, and he's already on thin ice here. There was a while where they were going out of their way not to play him.
