Prospect Info: Jack Quinn, RW (8th overall, 2020) -- Ottawa 67s (3 year ELC signed 11/16)

[Royisgone]

My 4th preferred player at the 8 spot with the 7 that had gone before us.

 

[Royal Thunder]

I like the player for sure, but it’s a bit hard to swallow when he had 1.44 ppg and Rossi had 2.14 on the same team... That’s a very very big gap.

Seems like a responsible, hard working goal scorer. But not sure how high the ceiling is with a guy who had just 37 assists in junior...

 

[Gabrielor]

Not sure what you guys were expecting, its a new GM, the Pegulas, and Kevin Devine

A google search amalgamation of rankings would've landed them on Rossi or Perfetti. The least amount of effort.

 

[Tsyolin]

Hope he proves us all wrong, just about the only thing we can hope for at this point.

 

[Deevo]

Rossi will almost certainly be a locked and loaded top 6 center. This is a major whiff.

 

[Zman5778]

Reminds me of people going crazy when Scheifele went over Couts in 2011.

I'm going to give him a few years. He seems to have a chip and I love those players. Give me the kid who wants to be out there in all situations and is GOOD enough to be out there in all situations.

It's kind of shocking to me how many of these services are praising his defensive willingness and ability. That's not something you usually associate with a goal-scoring winger from juniors.

 

[Fjordy]

I'm fine

 

[Sabre the Win]

I like the David Pasternak comparison they gave Quinn.

I hope he works out, welcome to hockey hell Quinn.

 

[Djp]

I feel like we’ve gone after this type of player quite a bit. Tage and Armia. Who knows, maybe he’ll be Corey Perry.

We didn’t draft Tage.

Quinnisnt 6-4+

 

[Club]

Fine with it. Haven't seen much of him. But wanted Rossi

 

[Djp]

He is 19 so he could be with the Sabres next season

 

[Zman5778]

Rossi will almost certainly be a locked and loaded top 6 center. This is a major whiff.

Sure strikes me that Quinn is a locked and loaded top 6 winger. If the Sabres think that Eichel and Cozens are our top 2 centers in the future, then I don't see the issue with this pick.

he has bust written all over him imo.

Sabres are a terrible at drafting. showed it again tonight

 

[Buffaloed]

He's always manipulating opposing defencemen as a puck-carrier, baiting a response, and then threading the puck through the opening this sequence created. Quinn can get a ten-bell shot off on either foot, and he deploys a wide array of release points to ensure that the puck gets through any manner of situations. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide

[Wisent42]

I don't hate it, but I really wanted Rossi. Let's hope front office knows their stuff. It takes some confidence to go against the consensus.

 

[Jim Bob]

Good player, bad pick.

At worst Quinn will be a middle 6 RW that will pot 15g/15a, PK and PP. He's a good player that goes hard to the net which Buffalo sorely lacks

How can you tell he's going to be a bust?

Who’s “us all”?

Im trying to find some video, the clips I find are just him against some terrible defense, nothing jumping off the screen at me. Was Rossi's line taking the harder matchup? Im assuming yes.

Maybe hes a late bloomer, but if so we could have traded down no?

I go by McKenzie and Hockey Prospect, mostly because they talk to actual NHL scouts across the league. HP had Quinn at 6.

 

[Deevo]

Sure strikes me that Quinn is a locked and loaded top 6 winger. If the Sabres think that Eichel and Cozens are our top 2 centers in the future, then I don't see the issue with this pick.

His average-at-best skating and high shooting percentage as an over-ager scare the crap out of me. Way lower floor than Rossi imo

 

[Royal Thunder]

The fact no one can give a half-decent reason to take him over Rossi is concerning for sure. Rossi is small but it’s 2020 who cares
