Prospect Info: 2024-25 Ducks Prospects

[WhatTheDuck]

Sennecke and the Generals doubled up Brampton in shots but were stonewalled by draft eligible goalie Jack Ivankovic who stopped 46/47 in a 3-1 win. Konnor Smith had an assist after his shot wide bounced right to a teammate at the net, and also apparently a very decisive fight win over Flyers prospect Noah Powell early in the game. That series is now even at 1 each.

Captain Pro and the Battalion dropped game two by a 3-0 margin, they are in tough down 2-0. Both these series resume again tomorrow night.

EP Rinkside reports on a couple notable names.

Jimmy Snuggerud, RW, St. Louis Blues​

Season Stats: 24G, 27A, 51PTS (NCAA)

Last Week Stats: 2G, 0A, 2PTS

Caught down the depth chart on the fantastic 2022 USNTDP class, Jimmy Snuggerud fell into the lap of the Blues at 23rd overall, and he hasn’t looked back once. In his third season with the Golden Gophers, the team’s captain has driven offence, leveraged his physicality along the boards and by the netfront alike, and has connected plays with the patience of a professional under heavy pressure.

Tied for sixth in college scoring, Snuggerud broke games open with his deft puck skills and high-end creativity and vision. This strong run of form extended to Minnesota’s final game of the season, scoring a pair of goals in a heartbreaking 5-4 overtime defeat after leading 3-1. The Chaska, Minnesota native displayed his puck-protection ability, anticipation, and heavy shot on a low precise one-timer on the man-advantage to open the scoring, before saving his most important NCAA goal for his last, tying up the game 4-4 with 3:37 on the clock off the draw with another hard low shot beating Michael Hrabal.



Leading the exodus of NHL signings from the Gophers, Snuggerud is expected to make his NHL debut tonight against the Detroit Red Wings. In practice, he has taken third line rushes alongside Oskar Sundqvist and Zachary Bolduc on top of a second power play slot. With potentially a top-nine role out of the gate, Snuggerud could leave an impression in these final games leading up to the playoffs, which St. Louis will most likely qualify for.

As Head Crossover Scout Daniel Gee wrote in a January 25th scouting report:

“Snuggerud remains a tanky player with an enormous amount of tools. He’s never going to be the paciest player – really operating at his own pace, but the way he connects plays, leverages his frame to create advantages on the perimeter, and how he operates around the net, it’s hard to be worried about his projection[...] This looks like a future top-six supporter and connector, maybe in the Brock Boeser vein.”

Stian Solberg, LD, San Diego Gulls (Anaheim Ducks)​

Season Stats: 4G, 11A, 15PTS (SHL/AHL)

Last Week Stats: 1G, 1A, 2PTS

Stian Solberg gained a reputation as a draft-eligible last season for his combination of mobility and crushing – but calculated – physicality. Moving from Vålerenga in Norway’s top division to the SHL this year after being selected 23rd overall in Las Vegas, the 6-foot-2 and 205-pound left-shot defenceman faced a significant jump in quality of competition. With a few exceptions, Solberg was deployed in bottom-pairing minutes, averaging 13:48 a night.

A blueliner who skates like the wind and hits like a truck, Solberg became more consistent and defensively reliable this season, with increased control in his gap management. While his offensive involvements were sporadic with Färjestad, he has already shown some more offensive dare in his first five games in the AHL with San Diego, scoring a goal and two assists while playing 18:30 a game.

On Saturday, Solberg notched that first AHL goal off a fake slapper to wrist shot that beat Calgary’s netminder above the left shoulder, finding its way through heavy traffic. A goal created by a deceptive head-up move and a quick heavy release, two elements of his offensive game that shone in flashes last season and could lead to an intriguing offensive toolkit.

A pretty tally. And a celebration to match.

 

[shach1]

Solberg has started his North American hockey career off well, with a physical and aggressive brand of defence that fits right into the AHL game. While the Anaheim Ducks have a wealth of talent at left defence, Solberg brings elements that only become more valuable come playoff time and a profile the Ducks lack otherwise – at this level – in their pool.

One of the most frustrating non-picks in Ducks history.

It is bad. But at least Gaucher will be a solid guy. Mayatovic over Cristall is worse.

Masse has a couple early assists.

 

[2faded]

If Oshawa gets eliminated early does Sennecke get a couple games?

With the gulls, sure.

Procyszyn has a goal today and I believe sennecke has two assists. The box score isn't really working all that well.

Port with another assist today. His four points are second most by a dman in the WHL playoffs.

Wonder if they'll offer him a contract...being an RHD works to his advantage.

Tarin smith has two assists tonight.
