Ok, then they absolutely lied about taking a data oriented approach.

Unless you are Kim Pegula and have all that info that us fans don’t have access to?

Quinn could be excellent.

But when I read for months that Rossi could be as good as the third best player in this draft, while most scouting services have Quinn in the mid first, and he jumps without playing a game? Yeah, color me skeptical

I think I would have been able to deal with this selection better if Terry and Kim weren't in the damn room.

It just annoys me at this point.

But yeah they certainly went against the analytics

the problem is you’re taking draft experts too seriously and using what you’re reading from them as a barometer of how you should be feeling right now. they’re wrong more than they’re right. we got potentially the best pure scorer in the draft. let’s see how it plays out.
- IceColdBeer


The only issue with this again is, 12 months ago this guy was considered a nothing basically. Not even a first round pick.

Not yea he’s good but if he performs he could move into the top 10 from top 15. He went from nothing to oh this guys scored a lot last year best goal scorers in draft. Seems like an impossible jump to me

I swear if they said we need goal scoring and then sorted on The G stat line and said pick him.

Maybe they didn't like rossi ?

Perhaps something off ice related ? 🙂

- Boss34


Off ice, like his peerless, second to none work ethic and commitment to the game?

He seems like a good kid. Definitely showed that he's willing to put in the necessary work, including his skating. He's got skills, scored 52 goals.

Very interested as to how they got to their decision. Because, what it really comes down to is, are those skills transferable to the nhl?

The question was posed as to who makes the other better. Of course Quinn said they made each other better
- Michael Pachla


Michael you’re informed and better than this!! They played on different lines but played on PP1 together. Maybe most impressive, Quinn was on PK1 and we know what a sh*t show That was for us this year.

We need a BPA rd 2 blog from you and or a UFA/trade blog

These are literally factors that scouts consider, and he still made Bob's top ten.

Trading a pick for a goalie? Or part of a bigger deal?

Or via the draft and taking a mid-round flyer?
