And to that I say, why isn’t this a playoff roster as currently constructed ?

Who’s to say this team doesn’t make the playoffs ?

I expect Adams to do more, but I also think this is a good roster as currently constructed.

- Swedish_Jesus

why question if this is or is not a playoff roster

just make it a cup contending roster

Let's be realistic, how many goals would Quinn have before his injury healed in January?

Maybe 10?

Glad it's not one of the top line guys or cozens, or the big 3 on defense.

Quinn's injury changes little IMO.


As for a levi wager, starts and/ or wins seems like a fun betting experience.

- Boss34

I don't know how many he will have. How does his injury not change little. He was a player who you would hope improved to help with that playoff push. I really don't get this take, actually it's pretty Stupid. If Adams is just hoping for internal growth then this hurts.

- Buff36

In what sense Boss?

I think it opens a major hole both short term, and long term for the team and Quinn's development.

They were expecting bigger things from Quinn this year. If I had to guess they were expecting a 55-60 point season from him.

Him being injured for half the year not only puts his development behind, it opens a spot in the top 6.

- Stripes77



Good points.

Short term 14 goals in 75 games , doesnt translate to 60 points IMO.

Olofsson, like him or not, still fits that position, he may score more then the 8-10 goals we lose out on with quinner. Maybe an upgrade.

Basically we lost a guy that scored 4 more goals then girgensons last season.......

Long term , Quinn's health is very important, but this shouldnt delay his complete nhl development, when looking at his career hopefully.....

Until they trade him, this is more a fact than anything.

You cannot have him sitting on the bench making what he makes, and expect to be able to get anything at all for him in a trade.

You either trade him before the season, or he plays

- Stripes77

at what point does adams get the label of being a scared gm

it's soon if not already at that point

If they go the whole off-season without spending a single asset to improve, it's tough to defend.

Nice dodge. Did you root against him as a Sabre?

Would you bet against Girgs, if I were adamant he'd break through and put up 20 points this year?

- Lunaion


Good to hear you think girgensons hits 20 points this season.

I'd love for someone to act like girgensons isnt hitting 20 points, I'd be all over that wager.

36 would be ecstatic


A levi wager should probably revolve around starts or wins ( my wager with washedup) ?

Crazy talk. He was one of the players supposed to take a giant leap this season.

It's a huge loss

- sbroads24

young top 10 overall pick

he is/was suppose to be a core player for this season and a fixture in the top 6


a really bad post, but then again he is still living in the past

I heard from a season ticket holder that olofsson's 5 on 5 play is getting better

he is the worst plus minus forward in the nhl the past 2 years

but it's getting better

You're acting like tage or tuch or dahlin went down.

Instead quinn scored 4 more goals then great28 last season.

We have olofsson to plug in and also a ton of young rookies who deserve a shot on a scoring line with a true center in cozens.

The rookies like savoie and kulich can replace quinn, not play 4th line minutes IMO. That's why we signed the captains.

Why would I be ecstatic if Girgensons fails. The only thing we bet was a D man would have more points than Girgensons. Girgensons is fine in what he does, I just don't think he is needed anymore especially with bringing the other 2 Larry's back

Quinn = -7

With only 14 goals ?

He's Neither 2 way, barely 1 way forward.

Olofsson is gonna get 20 more for your team this season, as you root against him .

Let's talk this out.

Friendly bet, but something fun.

I don't want anyone to go down. But if you are betting on internal growth to help push you to a playoff spot. Then Quinn's injury hurts. That's kinda ridiculous to think otherwise.

With the Quinn injury, he plays, none of those 3 are going to unseat him, the franchise has shown under Adams they will keep players in the minors for "development" purposes.
- Stripes77


Tad bit premature.

Also not going to rule out Rosen either.

4 guys battling for one spot that otherwise wouldn’t have been available without Quinn getting hurt.

If one of them are ready, no use in holding them back.

Many were skeptical of Peterka and Quinn taking roster spots at this time last offseason, and although Peterka had his fair share of struggles, Peterka-Cozens-Quinn were a legitimate 2nd line last year in terms of impacts.
