I like that he's going to Michigan. Seems like a player who'll benefit from playing in North America and against top competition.

This is the furthest thing from an organizational need, though. It would be nice if we could diversify our pool...

 

[Sun God Nika]

Ranked to go around the mid third round through consolidated rankings.

Was ranked by various analysts anywhere from late 2nd to mid 4th round.

the sens took him early second...

 

[The Expert]

This is the furthest thing from an organizational need, though.

How? Our D is soft as butter.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

I love a violent player.

I'm guessing a lot of fans won't like this pick because he's not under 5'9 and doesn't play like an NHL 24 Be a Pro character.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

We got our bash brothers with the first two picks.

Hopefully Green is our Gordon Bombay.

 

[Artanis]

Ben Rodgers 2.0

 

[Alex1234]

How? Our D is soft as butter.

I have said for awhile now that you can predict with near certainty who the Sens scouting staff will pick based on who has the most PIMs: Elite Prospects - NHL Draft Center

Yakemchuk and Eliasson had the most penalty minutes of all the D in this draft.

This scouting staff only cares about toughness and physicality. It's laughably obvious at this point.

How? Our D is soft as butter.

Our prospect pool has one strength, and it's left-shot defenceman who project as third pair guys with a chance to play second pair. Kleven, Donovan, Nordberg, Andonovski.

Ben Rodgers 2.0

There wasn't a single something to the Ben Rogers name. His name captured just how bland of a player he was.

Drafts a guy who led all dmen in the WHL in scoring with 30 goals, also called the most skilled dman in the draft.

"They only care about toughness and physicality!"

 

[GCK]

I thought we’d go with the big Finn but this makes perfect sense. As I’ve said since Staios was hired, he wants a big D corps.

He's basically creating a team of Steve Staios's.

 

[OD99]

Anyone think we may have taken Nabokov if he wasn't selected by the Avs right before us?

 

[BoardsofCanada]

At #39, this is a bit of a head scratcher. I would've been happy to add a player like this in the 5th/6th rd. But at 39, I would've gone with Pulkkinen. Equally as big but more well rounded.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Another typical Sens pick, and not in a good way.

[Xspyrit]

So the Habs added Demidov and Hage with 5th OA and 21st OA picks. We added Yakemchuk and Eliasson with 7th OA and 39th OA picks. OUCH

Who is going to score goals lmao? Stutzle, Tkachuk, Batherson, Pinto/Greig and then the offense goes DRY like crazy

It looks like we're still in Dorion era regarding drafting

Why wasn't the scouting department revamped? They didn't look at the 2021-24 draft results?

 

[RickyLafleur]

another guy who's major skill is accumulating penaly minutes...

Who's going to score goals? You just said who, Stützle, Tkachuk, Batherson, Pinto, Greig, and Norris if he's healthy. Are you expecting 4 lines of snipers?

 

[Senator Stanley]

Sounds like he's at least one year away from going to Michigan. He has another year of high school left. Perhaps he does a year in the USHL.
