Quinn underwent surgery for an Achilles injury Wednesday and will be sidelined for 4-6 months, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Based on this timeline, Quinn will be out for at least the first month of the 2023-24 season, though his recovery could carry into December if he trends toward the six-month range. It's a huge blow for the 21-year-old winger, who is coming off a strong rookie campaign that saw him rack up 14 goals and 23 assists in 75 contests. With Quinn on the shelf and almost certainly starting the 2023-24 campaign on long-term injured reserve, John-Jason Peterka and Victor Olofsson could both be candidates for a top-six role to start the season.
