It's frightening to me that I can't give you a definite "yes" to your question...

I really like Sennecke but definitely pretty concerning here. Come on dude…

If you guys are going to be seriously concerned about Sennecke after 3 games you might as well be declaring Burnevik to be our next Cutter Gauthier

He’s a top 3 pick. No one’s calling him a bust but it’s fair to expect a super high level producer in juniors

Counter point, it's 3 games and he's coming off a pretty decent injury.
And after an injury with not much of a training camp in Anaheim and none (?) with his junior team

Top 3 picks in their D+1 year should be dominant players if they're in juniors. Let's give it a few weeks before worrying to much, that being said because Anaheim went off the board and kinda made a "we're going to show everyone how smart we are' pick the reality is he's just going to be under a microscope because of the players they passed on.

I’m definitely not sounding the alarm. I’m just saying he HAS to be a high point producer this season in Juniors.
I’m willing to be patient but there’s no excuses for the production to not be there by the end of the year. Fingers crossed

My concerns about slow start is because of his size + speed + IQ + skill he should be absolutely overpowering junior level competition. Even Sam Steel absolutely destroyed the juniors in his post draft year and he was small with mediocre speed.
To add to that he looked decent in the nhl preseason. I’m not worried
Steel played for the best team in junior hockey. Josh mahura was over a point per game on that Regina team.
People need to be patient. The important thing is that he works on good habits and builds his physical strength.
In fairness, ducks clearly drafted a high upside player with potential but that also needed a ton of seasoning
Most concerning to me is that Sennecke has only 5 SOG in 3 games. That is a sign of a non-involved player. Admittedly, Oshawa is a mess but Sennecke needs to start being a leader and justifying why the Ducks took him 3OA.
Exactly this. I’m not sure how this is even a controversial stance tbh.

Couldn’t work out for 2 months with a broken foot, and people are surprised he’s not starting strong? Give him a month before we panic. His frame looks like he’s a minimum of 2 years from belonging in the NHL without the injury.

But nobody’s panicking. That’s what I don’t get. He just has to produce at an elite level over the course of this season.
If we get to the end of the year and he has 70 points in 68 games or something, I’ll definitely be panicking.
This guys a 3rd overall pick. He needs to put up 90-100 points minimum in his D+1 in the OHL to be considered an elite tier prospect that he should be.
I have my fingers crossed he gets cooking soon

I’m not saying you are by any means, I agree with you, but I’m going to adjust for that injury causing a delay in his physical development, which is far more necessary than for the average 3rd overall pick IMO - he’s a project. I’m referring to a couple posters a little further up the page making career predictions.

let's see where he's at after 20 games
i'm still not a fan of the pick and going scoreless in 3 games at that level is concerning to an extent, but let's also not give up on him that quickly. didn't he turn it on late last season? might just be one of those guys who always starts out slow

Scoreless games aside Beckett looked totally comfortable in his pre-season game, like he could easily hang with NHL or NHL-adjacent talent.
I'm not worried about him at all.

Fair, but also seeing that it's pretty concerning that he's had a slow start coming off a pretty decent injury and no training camp.
If it was like a month into the season fair enough, but it's the first week.
