I miss a competent announcer and camera work. It is hard to follow who is doing what, particularly with not really knowing the numbers for the players.

Kids having fun. Sennecke made me chuckle a bit, I'd say he could use more weight.
Sennecke needs several more leg days. And arm days. He's a twig right now, but I suppose that's a result of growing three inches in a year.
Isn’t his mom some volleyball star and I’ve read she liked her dad who was as body builder? He’s got to have the genes to get stronger right? Not a Marcus Pettersson who is still listed around 180

Terrance looked very good (though definitely benefited from playing with Cutter) and even with Sennecke on the ice, I thought Kukkonen was Team Getzlaf’s best player. It would be massive if one of those two hit and became an NHL player, we desperately need straight line speed of their caliber in the middle-6 of our lineup.

Hopefully he'll bulk up, but it could take a few years to get him NHL ready.

Definitely keeping an eye on Kukkonen since he has transferred to a different school at the NCAA level. Looking for success like Colangelo when he transferred to a new school. I'm hoping Kukkonen can notch over 20 goals next season as he put up 18 goals two seasons ago.
Hello everyone! I had the opportunity this year to go to the development camp. Things were pretty much the same as last year. The amount of people was the same, maybe slightly more. Saw a good amount of the new logo/jerseys along with jerseys from players like Minty, Gauthier, and Zellweger. Surprised to not see anyone trying to sell ticket packages and giving away free items like last year.
Here's some photos I took. Apologies for the terrible quality, my camera isn't the greatest.
Beckett Sennecke stretching
First one on the ice Yegor Sidorov
The Captain!
Rebound shooting drill: They shot it off the log, gathered the rebound to shoot to an open slot.
Puck protection drill. Skate in protecting the puck against the defender, shoot it on net. Next part is to gather a puck off the boards, pivot around while protecting the puck from the defenseman and pass to the slot for a one-timer.
Verbeek on the phone; more trades incoming?
2v2 Offensive/Defensive zone drill
Some sort of half zone scrimmage but involving both teams and simulating "both zones."
After scrimmage photo.
Last year, I noticed a few prospects that really caught my eye outside of Carlsson in Rodwin Dionicio and Yegor Sidorov and they both performed very well last season with Rodwin signing his ELC recently. Here's my notes and observations, just players I noticed while viewing the practice and scrimmage. Once again, I preface by saying I am not a professional scout.
Cutter Gauthier: The best player on the ice and it's not even close. Not sure why he's even attending the camp, but it was great to see him in person. Can't wait to see him in action.
Beckett Sennecke: The new (skinny) kid on the block. He doesn't look that skinny in person, but yes he needs to bulk up. Maybe while he's here he'll get his fill of Mexican food. He was knocked off the puck easily and pushed around, but I'm not too concerned as he grows into his body. The stuff that attracted the Ducks' brass, the vision, the stickhandling, the creativity, was on display. His skating needs a lot of work. The Corey Perry comparisions are definitely there.
Yegor Sidorov: One of the prospects I pointed out last year. Pretty much the same this year. Seems like he's stronger on his feet. The skating is defienitely there, buzzing all over the place. Reminds me of Andrew Cogliano and that's how he'll make it to the NHL, strong forcheck, staying in front of puck handlers, having an active stick.
Stian Solberg: Since this is a no contact scrimmage and drill, didn't get to display his hitting and physicality. He's already fully built. Could use some work on his skating as he gets to the NHL so he can stay in front of faster players, but I'm not too concerned about it.
Calle Clang: Very fundamentally sound. Was stopping a lot of great chances on a wide open scrimmage. Positioning was great. Didn't allow any soft goals while the other goalies did.
Lucas Pettersson, Maxim Masse,, Ethan Procyszyn, and Carey Terrace: They all had their moments, flashing some skill and skating ability. Ducks have a lot of forwards with similar style games and body types so having these 4 out there, shows the Ducks are very deep at forward. Wouldnt surprise me in a year or two that some of these will be moved for deals for a RHD.

Interesting take on Sennecke skating. I thought he looked fast, nimble and had great egdework

Along with Darels Uljanskis (aka @Kalv's boy), biggest surprise of the day for me. Helps that he's more of a smallish offensive Dman, so the scrimmage format accentuated his strengths, but there are tools to work with there: good first pass, nice wrist shot with deceptive release (scored on one today), very good on his edges and with puck protection out high and bonus points for being a righty. I know he was an invite, but he's someone I could see myself tracking at St. Cloud State to see if he can play himself into a contract somewhere.
The times I saw when a defender was on him, he looked pretty awkward skating. His turning with the puck looks great 3v3, but when closer to the boards and when the space isn't there, the skating/turning radius needs to be tighter as the space won't be there as often. His straight forward skating is solid, but it's 3v3 and I don't take too much stock in that. In comparison to the other players on the ice, his skating was below average. Much like Perry, maybe he'll be very shifty and use his long reach to keep the puck away from defenders.
The mystery is solved. Verbeek was on the phone with Sennecke's and Solberg's agents.

If not for the smiling Buteyets looks like one of the blonde bad guys from DieHard 1 lol.
Stian looks like one of Bjorn's brothers in the Vikings TV series lol. Procyszyn looks like he's from an 1980s movie, almost like a young Alan Rickman in DieHard.

Happy to hear about Gauthier looking very good out there. Have a lot of hope for him. Watched nearly every BC game, and I knew he was something special. Don't think Flyers fans would have been as upset if his potential was not so high.
Finally watched a couple days of drills and the scrimmage;
Solberg was the standout for me, really impressed with his poise with the puck and decision making. Looked like a 30 year old vet, he's going to be a fixture in the top-4 starting 2025.
Also really liked what I saw from Port... the potential is there, very crafty with the puck and has good reach. Kind of surprised he hasnt hit offensively but I know theres been some injuries. I think he'll open some eyes this season.
Sennecke is probably going to take longer to hit than the guys drafted around him... which is fine, you can see the elite offensive tools are there. If/when he grows into that frame the sky's the limit.
Gauthier put himself in great position to score constantly... couldnt finish most of them but that's less important here. Looked great in the drills and kind of exudes captain material.
Really liked what I saw from Masse in the drills, you can see goal scoring tools there that should translate on the wing.
Terance is a glue guy for sure, seems to know how to play with whoever he's lined up with. Kind of gives me Cogliano vibes
Liked what I saw from Callow in the scrimmage, very calm and finished well. Still a lot of potential there to hit
Was watching Myatovic closely... he's solid out there but hard to see a 1st rd talent. Hopefully he can be a top unit PK guy and support a more talented line with his hard work on the boards
Was pleasantly surprised with Konnor Smith's skating, very fluid and efficient... he didnt look like a 6' 6" defensive d-man out there
Sidorov is fun as always, tried too much but that's kind of his shtick. Important thing is he searches for middle ice and doesnt get pushed to the boards. Excited to see what he can do in the AHL. I think he's going to have to develop a more feisty forechecking style to really hit as an NHL'r.
Suchanek was the best goalie along in the drills... Clara has potential of course but he's gonna take a while IMO.

Any Euro league experts know the particulars about if we wanted to keep Solberg for a cup of coffee? Would it be like Lundestrom where we either have to keep him in the NHL or send him to the SHL until the end of the season?
Pretty sure players can have clauses in their contract allowing them to be loaned to a Euro team instead of being sent to the AHL.

Ah, I actually thought it was just some funky transfer agreement - wasn't thinking that Lundy's situation was negotiated.
