Prospect Info: 2024 Senators Development Camp

[R2010]

Poulin is just like many posters on this board who expand the meaning of "elite" to include 50% of the players.

Maybe he meant speed instead of skating mechanics itself, and everyone is just freaking out about nothing. Yakemchuk has great speed when he gets going. but he's not an elite skater.

Makes you wonder what DJ meant when he called Zaitsev an elite defender

I thought Dono was done working with the team? Great to see him still in the fold.

It was reported he might leave but he would still run development camp either way, but there was never any certainty he’s leaving at all.

As a season ticket holder can I see all these practices?

Development Camp is free for everyone but the last day when they have the 3 on 3 sessions is supposedly for season ticket holders only. What happened last yr is they kind of tried this & let season ticket holders in first & then everyone else went in. It's a small rink & only has two levels of seating on one side & standing room behind the net in the entrance side. I'm not sure how many people can fit in there, but it's not a lot & most fans don't care to see Development Camp. There hasn't been that many people there so far this yr & there is plenty of room to sit or stand although the 3 on 3 sessions usually attract more people.

He repeated it about three times emphasizing each time. I think he believes it or hasn’t seen him enough.

McDavid 2.0 confirmed.

Acceleration is most critical part, especially defending rush chances, not top end necessarily. If they can improve the first few strides that will go a long way in helping his game. Some good coaching will help with that, he already seems to recognize this and apparently focusing on it. I'm optimistic he will be a big addition to the club in the future.

But almost all players can reach a high top speed after many strides, so it sort of goes without saying that "once he gets going" his skating is fine.

Most Sens fans, including myself, convinced themselves of the same thing with Logan Brown. His feet were slow and he took awhile to get going but he could eventually reach a good top speed, therefore his skating concerns were overblown.

Turns out the first couple steps are the ones that matter most. Agility and acceleration are much more important attributes of skating than speed.

I agree. But i'm trying to be charitable for Poulin. In fairness, footspeed may have been an issue for Logan but the reason he wasn't successful was entirely upstairs

Never made it to Development Camp today, family resposibilities prevailed & I was tired of sleeping in the garage.

Absolutely

A sense of entitlement and pure laziness were huge reasons

Thanks aragorn

(I know I’m mixing fantasy references but I think it’s appropriate given the celibacy on the wall and aragorn’s couch)

Talent level and vision was incredible. Imagine having that amount of skill and letting it go to waste...

Moves quite well for his size. Still need polish, but damn....but quite impressive for an 18 year old who still hasn't finished growing.

He’s still 17 until September, missed next years draft by a week.

Even better. Imagine being 6-foot-7 at 17. That's wild.

If he keeps growing he will turn into a basketball player!

Can’t help getting excited to see how he progresses. He will get stronger every year. Scary. Just keep working on those puck skills.
