Yeah I’m not gonna go down this rabbit hole.

Nothing in their careers so far or scouting reports has Quinn with a higher ceiling

One was a top 5 pick and has scored in the NHL

The other was a reach at 8 and struggled in the world juniors and Rochester

- OneKaneOneCup


Ok, believe what you like
I’m not the scouts writing the reports dude….
and neither are you

Brady looks like one of the top power forwards in the League already. His offer isn’t even close.

You’re not the “know-it-all” you think you are

A guy who hasn’t gotten to 25goals or 50points is absolutely not one of the “top power forwards” in the league

He’s not that good of a scorer dude

If Quinn ends up better than Tkachuk I’ll be pleasantly surprised. But the odds are extremely slim

Quinn projects as a Drew Stafford type career

I never said that Quinn would be better
I said he has a higher ceiling as a scorer

Tkachuk simply isn’t a great scorer
And likely never will be
As he hasn’t been one at ANY level he’s played at

You've never liked the guy. Why do you suggest trading for him every week?

Not true
I don’t love picking guys in the top5 who don’t have potential to be high end scorers
That was my issue with Brady
Was never that i thought he was a terrible player or anything
I do like his style of play, and think that could be helpful here as we move into another rebuild


Also….
I was answering a question about what may make his brother Matt wanna play here
Having Brady as well would obviously be an incentive

He scores at almost a 25 goal pace per 82 over his 3 seasons. That's pretty (frank)ing good.

Sure
But the top scorers in the league generally get about double what he does

He’s absolutely NOT a high end goal scorer
And he doesn’t get a lot of assists either

He’s a good player,
and that’s why I’d trade for him if possible
IF POSSIBLE
But that doesn’t mean there aren’t PLENTY of better scorers in the league than him
And goal scorers & guys with high goal scoring ceilings/potential are always wanted,
so i think that gives Olofsson & Quinn some decent trade value

Do you think his injury had any impact on that?
