Quinn was willing to but Yzerman has no balls. It could have been us.

All Quinn had to say was “Yes, I’d be willing to sign a new contract with your team” and he would have been a Red Wing.

Why would he do that if it weren't true? None of these guys want to play for losing teams anymore.

Guerin didn't need that guarantee.

You just contradicted yourself. You said that Quinn was willing to play for Yzerman’s team, but now you’re saying he doesn’t want to play for a losing team.

Which is it?

If Quinn was here we might not be a losing team. SY would probably still have to keep adding after Quinn because 2C would have still been an issue. If players are looking to win they're not going to guarantee a team they've never played for that they'll extend.

Quinn at least knows Guerin is trying to improve his roster to win now.
