where?

They did better than boston... and Boston had 3 pick ina row

That draft costed the Bruins one, if not multiple, Stanley cups.

Jack Quinn becoming this decades Drew Stafford is all fine and dandy but Rossi, Perfetti, Lundell are all tracking, at this point in their developments which are subject to change, to be top 6 line drivers while the Sabres are sitting here with a complimentary player.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Quinn has a small sample overall. That's fair. But are we including the fact that he had a meteoric rise his draft year? What does that count for? Why exactly did he rocket up? What did all of these scouts see exactly?
- TheSabresTaco

We only know what the Sabres scouts saw.

How do we know he doesn’t drop to 12-15 if the Sabres don’t take him ?

The other guys are looking good, Not sure how Rossi's "tracking" after a year off

A bit of a hyperbole, but you don't draft Michael McCloud when Matthew Tkachuk is on the board because you need a (frank)ing center. It's irresponsible at best. You take the best player. If Jack Quinn is the best player in the long term at that point in time, you take him. It's that simple. Using the 'well other guys are centers' argument is nonsense, at best.

If they turn out to be right, we all benefit. If they're wrong, then they're wrong, and that sucks for all of us, and then we get sucked into a 'but Draisaitl' argument again and that should be a blast.
- TheSabresTaco

Yeah that’s extreme hyperbole as all three of those centers were ranked/are still ranked higher by most. I’m not complaining about the puck anymore, and hope Quinn turns out. That’s all we got at this point

One of the best statistical seasons in the OHL in the last 20 years but whose counting that right

Consider all you like. The only thing that matters is where these guys are at 24, 25. All situations are different. What league you're in, what position you play, how many minutes you receive, what team mates you play with, injuries you're dealing with, how your coach uses you, where you are in your development, what qualities you have on the ice and physically, what your competition is..

Saying one guy that plays a different position in a different league is better than another guy in a completely different situation is beyond ludicrous.

Jack Eichel had a poopty juniors. Peterka and Mittelstadt outscored him, so does that make them better at the same age? It's nonsense.
- TheSabresTaco

Sarcasm, correct?

You have. The crying over spilled milk needs to stop. I mean I guess it doesn't considering this is a discussion forum, but looking in the rearview mirror all the time is no way to live. In my opinion.
- TheSabresTaco

Good luck

Sarcasm, correct?
- kingcong39

Partially, but the point was that he was outscored by Mittelstadt and Peterka. According to the conclusions previously drawn here, Eichel at 18 was an inferior product than the other two at 18,19

ahh after being away from the game in key development years for almost 2 years and has a major heart condition due to covid.

I mean .... thats kind of a big deal.

You know ...who is counting that right?

Get back to me when they're 24.

The NHL reportedly expects 98 per cent of players will be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 this season.


Bunch of ice sheep 😉

1 year.

He also played for Austria this summer in Olympic qualifying and is participating in Minnesota’s prospect camp as we speak.

Here is the reality of the situation. We have Mittelstadt who is a 3C who has upside of being a 2C. We have Cozens whom for now projects as a 2C.

Then we have about 10 prospects who look like 3rd line wingers with 2nd line upside.

Outside of Cozens, I don’t see any forward prospect in the organization that has slam dunk top line upside.

Rossi/Perfetti/Lundell though could have given us a second prospect outside of Cozens though with that type of upside.

I’m not looking through the rear view mirror, I’m looking 3 exits ahead on the freeway

So we aren’t going to consider his performance overseas in the Austrian league and DEL while Quinn had like 20+ other teenagers out score him in the AHL ?

He was playing with a hernia, no?

When I played, I had a hernia and no skill to play the game of hockey... That didn't stop me from becoming the league MVP, in my head.

Also, this never happened.
