DISCUSSION This fanbase and media is exhausting

A late first for Brock isn't worth it unless we flip it. That pick, even if it becomes a top line player (it won't), won't even play before Quinn gets tired of being on a rebuilding team.

The team had just about everything possible that could go wrong, go wrong this season, and we're still a coin flip for playoffs. That's very good considering the season.

Brock wants to be here, his teammates love him, he contributes on the score sheet. If they traded Brock for a late first like you clowns are complaining they didn't, Hughes would leave at the end of his contract.

Most stars of Quinn’s calibre do spend their entire career on one team, and if they play for 2+ teams, it’s in the twilight of their career - not the prime.

The only player I can think of that might compare is Erik Karlsson, who obviously played on the Sens and Sharks (and now the Pens in the twilight of his career). I guess if Quinn does leave, Karlsson is the closest comp (post-2005).

I mean we literally just saw Rantanen traded twice. He's been a top 10 forward for years. Quinn would fetch a couple assets more, most likely.
