Rip Rossi, never forgotten
Passed on Perfetti and Rossi, y’all drunk or somethin smh
Hi Guys 😍💋 💝💖
Anyone who is happy about this is delusional
Passing on Rossi was a huge mistake. Way better player overall
Adams : Sees large number of goals on stats
Adams : Good enough 🤷🏻♂️ I don’t have scouts
Let's all take a second to remember the Bills getting laughed at for passing on Josh Rosen to take Allen. #trusttheprocess
Ill be rooting & hoping 🤞for quinn to be good… but damn idk how u pass on Rossi or perfetti at 8
Trust the process. You never know how a guy will turn out. New gm, lets see what he is gonna do. Dont switch up when this guy becomes good and be like "ohh yeah hehehe😉"
I'm surprised you guys passed on Rossi. This is coming from a Wild fan. Most mock drafts had you guys taking him. I keep seeing comments about the team not needing a center, but he was the best player available. Also imagine Eichel and Rossi as your top-2 centers. That's way better than Eichel/Cozens. Buffalo will be heading towards dynasty territory thanks to having pieces like Dahlin who you can build around on the blueline.
Rossi may look small, but he's not a small guy. He's the most hardest working player and arguably the best when it comes to pure skill. He plays a complete game, but has tons of offensive talent who is ready to make the NHL jump. He's been working with a skating coach and has been hitting the gym. So he's going to be an excellent dynamic player. His game reminds me of Pavel Datsyuk's. You guys would've had legitimate center depth because injuries happen folks…Imagine if either Eichel or Rossi went down. Cozens can step in as well as Middlestat after seasoning some more. Cup teams have good center depth. Eichel/Rossi/Cozens/Middlestat/etc would have been so legit I'm not kidding. You got centers who can play wing and can step in for injuries.
You guys keep saying Kevin Rossi or whatever you know Rossi only played with Quinn on the power play for the most part that was the only time Mr Quinn was on his own line and he was the driver on his own line Rossi played on a different line. So do your homework. I'm giving you a thumbs down for this stupid narrative about Kevin Rossi and Quinn being together! You guys are idiots
Jack Q can score at all angles and spots on the ice. This team needs guys who can score like. Maybe you like Rossi more but these guys did not play on the same line much.
he better play next year
I know Holtz was robbed from us but GEEZUS why on God's green earth did we not take Perfetti?! #TwoJacksDontMakeARight
Adams did say he doesn't want the safe pick and wants them to start taking chances with a players projection. So to be fair he stayed true to his beliefs.
Two points. (1) Unlike the NFL, in the NHL, teams will draft according to needs more often than NFL teams typically do. (2) Buffalo did alright picking Quinn because he will stuff any pucks Eichel feeds him into the net.
Summary: Quinn plays a 200 foot game and can play by himself (to a degree like Matt Duchene) and didn't really play with Rossi so everything he accomplished he earned on his own. The one downside, if I can call it that, is compared to other players in the OHL, he is a slightly older player (1 year older than Byfield for example), implying perhaps he has less development ahead of him compared to other younger draft prospects.
Bottom Line: Buffalo got a winner.

I really wanted Rossi too! But J.Quinn is a solid pick imo. Maybe even with a higher ceiling? I assume they drafted Quinn because they see D.Cozens as their #2 C in the near future while Quinn will be projected to be a top 6 Winger for the Sabres as well. Only time will truly tell.
Trash pick. Not because Quin isnt a good player but Marco Rossi is in a different league and they play on the same team lol It doesnt matter if you need a scoring winger to make Eichel happy or not. Mrco Rossi will be a foundational peice in Minny.
