I dont think Quincey has been noticeably better or anything but this Kindl circle jerk is a little bit premature. He barely gets minutes because hes been a turn over machine and gets hemmed into his zone to often because of it. Quincey is relied on way more to be a defensive guy now. Kindl's getting his tires pumped right now because hes a 1st round pick that is finally looking like an NHLer and Quinceys getting **** on because he had a poor adjustment to the wings but has been steady for a while now.
You could post Brendan Smith's stat line and Kindl would seem much better but theres no way watching them that Kindl has outperformed him
This isn't some Kindl "circle jerk". The kid looked like he was done - a bust - but he played his way out of the legendary Babcock doghouse and has been one of our better defenders, if not the best, recently. You should be able to at least appreciate what the kids been able to do.
Quincey isn't getting "**** on" at all. We've all acknowledged that has been very good in his shutdown role, its the contract that makes him hard to appreciate.
