"Quine was drafted into the NHL not once, but two times. In 2011, he was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings with the 85th overall pick in the 3rd round. But because they didn't sign him to an entry-level contract within the first two years of having his rights, he was able to re-enter the draft pool. It would be with the 166th pick of the 6th round of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft where the New York Islanders would select him."
"He would then play three full seasons with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers before making his NHL debut in the 2015-16 season. Through those three AHL years, he put up 136 points, 50 of those being goals, in 192 games. He earned the call-up to the Islanders' main roster with only two games left during that 2015-16 season. He played in both of them, even scoring his first NHL goal in his first NHL game against the Buffalo Sabres."
Alan Quine was drafted twice, first by the Detroit Red Wings in 2011 (85th overall) and later by the New York Islanders in 2013 (166th overall). He spent three full seasons with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, totaling 136 points and 50 goals in 192 AHL games. Quine made his NHL debut late in the 2015-16 season and scored his first NHL goal in his very first game against the Buffalo Sabres. Quine was inserted into most of the Islanders' 2016 playoff games and quickly became a fan favorite following his postseason contributions against the Florida Panthers.
