Kevyn Adams said Quinn might get a look at center in Ottawa when he was talking about his center tendencies.I read somewhere that it was expected that he’d play center for the 67’s if the season had happened.
Looking for some info on players who made their NHL debut. What is the future outlook for these guys?
Arttu Ruotsalainen
Brett Murray
Mattias Samuelsson
Jacob Bryson
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen
Michael Houser
I agree with all of thisR2 -- Looked solid in his time in the NHL. Seems like a guy that could play up and down a lineup and snipe on the PP. Maybe a 20/20 guy in the future who's responsible in his own zone.
Murray -- Who knows. Big body. Might be an NHL 4th liner, might be an AHLer. Don't think he has a real high ceiling though.
Samuelsson -- Skating issues greatly exaggerated. Certainly an NHL Dman in the future. Probably not a top pair guy. Not a ton of offensive upside.
Bryson -- This is probably the guy who will be the most divisive. I think he'll max out as a 3rd pairing guy who's quite mobile and can play PP2. Can probably pull a game here or there in the 2nd pair as an injury replacement, but don't count on him there long term.
UPL -- Ceiling is legit top-15 NHL starter. Still has development to do.
Houser -- Best as an organizational 3/4 who if caught at the right time can give your team a chance to win for a game or two.
Humid take: Quinn start next season in Rochester as a full time center
He could as an overager but doubt they wouldIf the OHL is back, is that an option?
Gains:
Sean Malone
Brandon Davidson
Jimmy Schuldt
Losses:
C.J. Smith (Carolina),
Jean-Sebastien Dea (Montreal)
Remi Elie (Tampa Bay)
Dalton Smith (Colorado)
Failed development plan. He played at a high level in the AHL and was held back from showing if he can play in the NHL because Botterill/Krueger filled the NHL roster with veteran plugs. He might end up being a career minor leaguer but he could end up as an NHL player. It's crazy that a team in the Sabres position didn't find out.What is everybody's feeling on C.J. Smith? Another blown development or just one of many tweeners?
