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.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Two-point effort Friday
Rotowire
Quinn recorded a goal and an assist in Friday's 5-4 win over the Devils.
Both points came in the first period as the Sabres jumped out to a 3-1 lead before the 11-minute mark and chased Akira Schmid from the game, with Quinn's tally being the dagger. It was his first multi-point performance in March, but the 21-year-old is still having a productive first full season in the NHL with 14 goals and 34 points through 64 games.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Two points in Tuesday's loss
Rotowire
Quinn scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.
It's the second straight multi-point effort for the 21-year-old, who is filling in admirably for Alex Tuch (lower body) on Buffalo's top line alongside Tage Thompson and Jeff Skinner. Tuch may not be back until mid-March at the earliest, so Quinn has a clear path to real fantasy value over the next couple weeks after amassing three goals and eight points over the last seven games.

Rotowire
Quinn notched two assists in Sunday's 7-4 win over Washington.

Over the last six games, Quinn has picked up two goals and six points after managing only one goal over his prior 11 contests.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Pair of points in return to action
Rotowire
Quinn scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Predators.

Quinn had a solid stretch over November and December before his recent slump -- the key will be finding consistency for the long haul. He's at seven goals, 19 points, 52 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 34 NHL appearances this season.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Lights lamp twice against Blues
Rotowire
Quinn scored two goals in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Blues.
Both goals were unassisted tallies in the third period, and both were nearly identical -- the 21-year-old stole the puck from a St. Louis player in the Buffalo zone to create a 2-on-1, then finished the break himself, with the first goal deflecting off the Blues' defender and the second coming after he deked Jordan Binnington out of his skates. Quinn is beginning to look the part of the eighth overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, finding the scoresheet in three straight games and collecting three goals and nine points in his last 11 contests.

Sabres' Jack Quinn: Lights lamp Monday
Rotowire
Quinn scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 8-3 win over the Red Wings.
Quinn was listed on the second line Monday, but he saw just 13:32 of ice time in the big victory. The goal was his first of the year, and he's earned both of his points in the last three games. The 21-year-old forward has added 10 shots on net, a plus-4 rating and four hits through seven contests. He's still got some progress to make before he can be trusted in redraft formats, but dynasty managers would be wise to hold onto the first-round pick from 2020.
