Sure, but if it came down to Quinn or JJ for the last spot, JJ to me is better equipped to handle it right now. Of course Camp could change that.

I really like JJ's game, but Quinn has the better skill set and even though he had a rough playoffs, he torched the AHL proper. Although yeah a rough camp would complicate the decision.

If Quinn's performance only deserved 2 games and a ticket to Roch next year, that's a problem.

I think Sturn or Lazar would have been a better fixture if they brought him in to be the 4th line center

JJ has the very high skill set……. And blazing speed. Quinn is more like Reinhart. Not the greatest skater or speed but skilled.

I would take JJ over quinn prospect rank wise

They did Lazar dirty. Signed him to a two-year contract then shipped him to Boston in the Hall deal after he said he liked it here. Zero chance he would have returned.

I liked that Larry.

Oh well, at least Sheahan is back.

well yeah thats why I said better skill set. His shot is the difference maker. You can't send that back to Rochester after the year he had, period.

3 year deal for Lazar
Don’t see any reason we should’ve done that
Plus, he got to go “home”
So a better offer might not have even gotten it done

The last 3 arent centres anymore, and casey should probably get moved to the wing as well.
- Michael Ghofrani

If Krebs isn't a center. You better move cozens off the dot.

I think Quinn and JJ are here this year. Adams didn’t sign anyone to block them from earning a spot

That's it, earning your spot. Goes both ways cause he didn't really bring anyone in that can help if they don't make the cut right away either.

Rosen had the game winner for Sweden and Sjodin had a decent game

"Earning" their spot is a stretch. They've made it abundantly clear by their actions that as long as they don't look like a deer in the headlights, they're being given roster spots.

Cozens has the possession and XG stats that Krebs hasn't gotten anywhere near yet.

Right, but they signed enough players that one of them would be stuck on the 4th line, which I doubt they want.
