Prospect Info: 2024-2025 Ottawa Senators In the system

[Sens in Process]

Yeah, Mynio is also a very heavily underrated prospect imho. Yak's weaknesses in the pre-season imho were definitely not hockey IQ related.

Mynio is a keeper. I love watching him play.

Canucks lowkey had a very strong 2023 draft.

Yakemchuk 1a

 

[Ouroboros]

Injured again.

 

[Sens in Process]

It was a knee-on-knee hit behind the net. He continued playing for a bit, though visibly hobbled, before making his way to the bench.

OUCH ...

 

[BondraTime]

Real rough year for Yak, not the kind of developmental year you’d hope for.

Still incredibly skilled. Hopefully it’s not a long term thing, needs to play amd work in some areas as much as possible in this developmental year.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Carter Yakemchuk has given the Senators’ pool the high-end prospect it has lacked since Tim Stützle and Jake Sanderson’s graduations, but they’ve got very little in the cupboards behind him (without Yakemchuk, this might be the thinnest, weakest group in the league).

I debated slotting the Senators lower here, but Yakemchuk — the best prospect in the countdown so far — props them up. There’s work to do for Steve Staios, though.

Ottawa has got very little in the cupboards behind its top prospect, 2024 first-round pick Carter Yakemchuk.

Edit: I hope the work goes a few strides beyond handing the drafting reigns over to Don Boyd and company again... We should not expect much different from that group.

He needs to have a strong finish to the year, and it looks like he will still get the opportunity.





I've been talking about how impressive Yakemchuk's stretch passes have been recently. Here's an example from last night that resulted in a point for him. It's not the best example, but it does demonstrate the kind of passer he is.



People have been posting some good clips from the last game, and I think they are generally representative and put things in context. The WHL is a far tougher league than its counterparts in the CHL, and Yakemchuk is constantly having to deal with the other team's shift disturbers. Yakemchuk plays a physical game and gets embroiled in these back-and-forths. Like Brady, he won't back down and can be guilty of having a short fuse. I wish, at times, he was a little more disciplined, but I can't be too harsh on him when dealing with the following:

Isn't WHL the hardest league to score and the most defensive orientated? Yak could definitely improve, but I do feel if he was given the same team as Dickinson or Parekh in the OHL, he'd have produced a lot more as well. But he does have the best style for a professional game out of the three.

I totally agree, but I would like to see a bit more from him. I was really encouraged by his skating after returning from injury and believed he was primed for a breakout. I think the OHL numbers should be taken with a massive grain of salt. The OHL is basically the fast-paced, high-scoring league - similar to the QMJHL of years past. The difference between the WHL and OHL are quite staggering in the terms of physicality and contested space . And on the whole, I though the WHL guys outperformed the OHL guys, especially on D, by a large margin in the WJC and this speaks to the quality of the leagues. You could also make the case that Yager was Canada's best forward. Or look at Montgomery, he was a point a game player in the USHL and has reached another level playing in the OHL. How to interpret that? Is he good or is he getting that OHL bounce?

I believe Yakemchuk could absolutely be a homerun.
