Speculation: 2024-25 Roster thread

[Ducks DVM]

Sennecke next season . Kid needs to hit the weight room this off season. He’s dominating down in his league.

I don’t think he can get his frame to NHL size over a summer without the use of anabolic steroids (not joking). He needs to be 2 years away just so he doesn’t get injured.

As soon as verbeek fires Cronin 1. He lets the current crop of players off the hook 2. Verbeek himself is let off the hook some 3. Verbeek is under close eye by our owners who he sold Cronin to, to begin with 4. As a result of #1-3 he sells that being a team at the end of a rebuild, we might have to overpay in free agency or trade routes to become a playoff team. Which the Samuelis will green light

Rebuilding teams ALWAYS have to overpay. Edmonton with McDavid and Draisaitl had to significantly overpay washed up Milan
Lucic to come play there.

His “struggling: is still better than 96% of the rest of the team though. I think “head case” is a bit of a strong term, it usually carries some pretty severe connotations.

Yeah, poor word choice on my part.

He’s already up to 195 lbs. The kid has put in some serious work in the gym. Wouldn’t be out of the question for him to be 205-210 by next September.

That means we will still be targeting a top 6 wing shot via trade or free agency then.

I think we'll see him around 200lbs or more and in the lineup next year

Sennecke is up to 195??

Official CHL profile has him at 6'4 195... although we know how accurate those can be

If gets to 205 this summer, he’s a duck next year. They might even Leo plan him.

He still looked like a string bean in preseason. Imma gonna take that with a grain of salt.

He also looked nowhere near his listed weight at the draft.

Apparently at the combine (early June) he was measured at 6'2 3/4 and 182 lbs.

McTavish allegedly weighs 219#, and if we didn’t have Dumoulin, Fowler would be our tallest and heaviest defenseman.

I take these numbers at the opposite of face value.

Regardless, Carlsson is allegedly 6’3” and 203#, and he is still too underdeveloped to play the position the way he wants to. Sennecke looked like a stick figure in preseason, when he would have been that allegedly >190.

Look, if Sennecke rolls out in a couple years at 230 I'll be the happiest Duck fan ever.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Sennecke’s frame may be like Perry, where he just can’t get over like 205-210.

That worked out well with Cutter. How about we let the kid grow and earn a spot?

I’m too lazy to look it up, but another site I looked at had him at 192. Looks like he’s above 190 anyways. That’s still small for a 6’3” or 6’4” player, but that’s a lot better than the 165 or whatever he was last year.

This was great….



Gudas telling the Rangers fan you can have two teams (thank you dude!) and Strome wiping his face with a Kings shirt lol

Had to waive Reimer today to be able to call a forward up, wonder who it would be. Wouldn’t mind seeing Colangelo but might also be better to just let him keep cooking in the minors

Will be able to call up as many as 3 players with Fowler and Fabbri on IR

Good opportunity for Colangelo. He’s a PPG with the Gulls think he’s earned it.

Has he also been playing a tough physical game down there?

Strome-Terry worked, go back to that. Maybe Killorn on the other wing because Vatrano wasn't doing much there so Killorn would fit right in.

Zegras and Cutter looked dangerous, so pair them together (though Gauthier looked good on the 4th line too, got assist on the first goal). Pair them with Vatrano. See if they can get Frank going (he's been streaky historical, right?).

Carlsson need someone to take faceoffs for him and Lundestrom can do that and it's fast. Colangelo has been scoring at the AHL level, sounds like he deserves a call up.

Lundestrom Carlsson Colangelo
Gauthier Zegras Vatrano
Killorn Strome Terry

Gives each guy that likes the puck in their stick his own line. Also, someone will get easier matchups, and that top line may not be horrible defensively. There just isn't much depth on this team, and very little chemistry. Cronin needs to put the guys that show a little together.
