BUFFALO (WBEN) - With his first ever selection as Buffalo Sabres General Manager, Kevyn Adams opted to go off the board a little bit by selecting forward Jack Quinn of the Ottawa 67's.
Quinn is known as a late bloomer of sorts, scoring 52 goals and 37 assists in 62 games last year, but only registering 32 points (12 goals, 20 assists) in 61 games during the previous season.
Elite Prospects had this to say about Quinn as a prospect: "He's always manipulating opposing defensemen as a puck-carrier, baiting a response, and then threading the puck through the opening this sequence created. Quinn can get a ten-bell shot off on either foot, and he deploys a wide array of release points to ensure that the puck gets through any manner of situations."
The Sabres will next select with the 38th overall pick in the second round of the 2020 NHL Draft on Wednesday.
