"Q, he's got great speed. He plays both wing and centre, but he brings speed to the game. He's a competitive kid, but his speed is what drives him. He's fast, he's powerful for a young kid. He's going to bring energy to the game. He's going to work. He's going to compete, that's what he's going to bring to the game tonight."
"Quillan has played in four games for the Maple Leafs this season, but has not recorded a point. The 24-year-old has been highly productive for the Marlies, registering 12 goals and 33 points in 38 games. Quillan will likely get a larger look in the Maple Leafs' lineup, as the team is positioned to trade several roster players prior to Friday's deadline."
Quillan has appeared in four games for the Maple Leafs without recording a point, but has been highly productive for the Marlies with 12 goals and 33 points in 38 games. The 24-year-old is expected to receive greater opportunities as Toronto trades roster players before the deadline. Nicolas Roy was traded to Colorado for draft picks, and Scott Laughton, Bobby McMann, and Oliver Ekman-Larsson are healthy scratches on the trade block. Quillan could directly replace Roy on the third line and may be joined by Luke Haymes as the Maple Leafs retool. Head coach Craig Berube praised Quillan's speed, versatility between wing and centre, competitiveness, and energy.
