I assume you mean Jack Quinn, ranked behind Marco Rossi in the first round? I wouldn't worry too much about that-they played mostly on separate lines, except the PP. You could say that most of Quinn's offensive numbers came without Rossi. Quinn has displayed a mature game-he plays a good 200ft game, and he has one of the best wrist shots in the draft. Good speed and stickhandling, too.
If there's anything negative to consider, it would be Quinn's age-he missed last year's draft by only a few days, and played the entirety of the year as an 18 year old. The previous year, which would be his draft year if he was a few days older, his production (32 pts in 61 games) would hardly net him first round status.
