Hank Balling: 2021-22 Buffalo Sabres: 3C – Rasmus Asplund (+ Drought Moments)

Good reeed.

I still wonder if that 35% in the circle is enough to usher him onto the wing permanently, but we shall see. The midget line could be fun to watch.

That was a real hockey fight. God bless both of them. Had a bump, had a word, fists. Nothing better.

Methinks he's going to be wearing a letter sooner rather than later.

Good Read Hank, we shall see how this young team handles the toughness factor. Maybe the Lion faller will stand up for a change.

Jack Quinn has seen all of eight weeks of professional action since being drafted. He netted eight points in his final 10 games before shutting it down. Sabres should be satisfied with the progress in that brief window.

Quinn is a monster, discuss.

this is exciting

quinn was a reach, drafted due to position of need

could be a 30 goal scorer in the nhl, or a bottom 6 mudder

I would not be shocked if peterka has the better nhl career

Great read Hanky Panky.


I don't think I've heard the arena louder than when Skinner scored that goal... place was jamming. City was jamming. Great time during this horrid drought.

Jack Quinn when was far from a reach. He was on everyone's board at 8 9 or 10. I like the selection over the five-foot-nine Marco Rossi. The other guy was Cole perfetti and that's where time will tell but I think it's a little too soon to be calling him a reach when he was forced to play in Rochester because the Ontario Hockey League didn't have a season. Only time will tell and honestly I think Cole perfetti might be better so if we reached by taking him 2 pics too soon I can live with that.

Good reeed.

This team is pretty bad at faceoffs. If Eakin is in the press box then Okposo is the best on the team.

I assume they can bring someone in to teach them. Peca maybe

i don't follow these guys as much as most, but i thought most people had Quinn in the 14-20 range.

He was never a top 10 player.

In fact the year prior he wasn't even in the top 100.

The year before Hockey wasn't his first sport.

He put his full time into hockey and was a top 10 pick. top 15 in almost every mock.

Kids a natural athlete. Has a good head on his shoulders and has shown he can improve significantly over small periods of time.

Seems like sky's the limit for Quinn.

most mocks had him in the 11 to 15 range


so going 8th is a reach


but the sabres drafted from position of need and fell in love with the goal production in the weak league he was in

Some wanted Anton Lundell when the Sabres picked.
