sennecke seeing NHL ice with that rail thin body this coming season is a terrible idea. he's going to get completely outworked and potentially injured. give him a year at least to gain muscle and fill out

I think it’s unlikely unless he puts on the kind of muscle that gets you drug tested this summer. No need to risk injury.
The roster is also getting a bit full for that. If Verbeek actually gets more actual NHL players even more so.
He would need to just be absolutely amazing in camp, where I think he likely does get a preseason game or two, preferably in a game without some meathead trying to get a contract by injuring someone.

Don't want to scroll through 12 pages, so please bear with me, if this has been asked beforehand:
Sennecke's ELC will slide as long as he doesn't play in the NHL, right? So, if he doesn't see NHL action in 2024-25, his contract will automatically be from 2025-26 through 2027-28, yes/no/maybe/I don't know/can you repeat the question?

The contract will slide as long as he doesn't play in more than 9 NHL games.

Here is Hockey Prospects' report on Sennecke. Sometimes, height makes might.
For those curious about Sennecke's goal scoring and how it improved over the season...
That goal scoring greatly increased in the last 20 games and into the playoffs. That checks off one of the concerns that Hockey Prospects scouts were worried about in Sennecke being a top-10 pick.
The thought that Sennecke might still grow to 6'4 is crazy!

I remember Killorn saying the X-Rays showed Leo should still grow a bit, too. We might have a massive top line.
If you are ignoring the person who started the thread it will.

I'll speak to my marketing team
Not sure if anyone saw but I asked someone in the WJ thread who claims to have coached Sennecke what he thought of us taking him at #3 and he said (sorry, don’t know how to link on mobile):
Love it. He’s going to be a superstar at the NHL level imo. When he’s mid 20’s and has filled out his big frame, he’s going to be scary good imo. Elite skill and creativity, has a very good shot arsenal and can score from distance or dangle 5 guys and score in tight. Has gotten much more nasty to play against as well, which is to be expected as he’s grown from 5’8 to 6’3 in two years. Skating has come a long way as well. I know even he was a bit surprised he was taken that high, but his second half and playoffs were outstanding, and he nearly doubled his production. I think he’s a guy who will be in Anaheim after one more year of junior. Could easily be a 100 point guy in oshawa this coming year. Only real knock on him for me is he has a tendency to get too cute and can make risky plays when it’s not necessary. But even that was cleaned up in his second half. Derek Laxdal was a great coach to help him develop imo. I’d be excited if I were an Anaheim fan.

If we can get him with a shoot first mentality that would be big
I think he is going to have a healthy combination of shot/pass mentality. I definitely see the creativity he uses in both scoring and passing. That can be an elite combo like you see with Kucherov.

Yeah, I don’t think „shoot first“ is a reasonable expectation for him. He’s already a guy who’s comfortable in his vision and reads of the opposition, so he’s most likely always going to be weighing his options and see if a defender is in a position to defend against a deke. And that’s entirely fine, as long as he develops his reads at the next level. You really don’t want a guy like that to focus too much on one thing when it’s the package that makes him as intriguing and potentially as hard to defend as he is or can be.

So in his physical prime around 25 he could be Rick Nash with more playmaking ability in his game. Can easily see why Columbus table at the draft!! looked pissed off after the Ducks picked him. Rick Nash was a great skater despite being 6'4. Sennecke already has great skating.

It's about upside. Vanacker might be a better OHL player right now (he also might not be, Sennecke might've been the best player in the entire OHL playoffs). But Sennecke's upside blows Vanacker's, and most others, out of the water, which is why he went so high.
A Sennecke update for Ducks fans, after getting hurt @ Canada World Junior camp, he's just about healed now
I wonder if they will hold him out of the prospect tournament then. That would be a bummer, but understandable.
