Is it normal for an entry level contract to have a $4m AAV?

One more OHL season then into the pros for Senneke. He is going to have to live in the gym over the next few years

And eat plenty of burgers and steaks. He's tall though, at least that's in place.

I’m terrible with this stuff so hopefully I linked the timestamp right. If it didn’t it’s for 1 hour 21 minutes in. Nice little move on Cutter and then snipes it.

Edit: nvm I have no idea what I’m doing. If you want to see it it’s from the Duck my life livestream of the scrimmage.

 

[Rybread86]

I dont know why but I dont see Sennecke being a Duck for another 2 seasons at minimum. Hes got a lot of muscle to add

I see people throwing the "20 pounds" number around but he looks like he needs 30+

If he was under Gary Roberts, this would not fly. Roberts says to avoid red meat as it is the hardest to digest. But then again, PK Subban was known for eating steaks before games so he had a decent career although rather short.

Yes, if the have both A and B performance bonuses included like he does.

Edit: His cap hit is still $975. If he earns the bonuses they count in the current year if there is space, if not they roll over to count against the next year's cap.

 

[Rooch]

I attended almost all of the dev camp, in person some days and online others. I can say that Sennecke gave me three moments this week that were "Holy f--k" exclamations. He is going to be a special player when he fills out that frame.

I can see why the Ducks were convinced with just 1 interview. Kid is a natural.

 

[Leonardo87]

Have not watched much of this kid. Really need to start paying more attention to these 1st round picks. But, until they step into at least the AHL, it’s hard for me to keep track of their progress. Cutter Gauthier was a different situation that was a must watch for me.

 

[anezthes]

I have a dream.

Z – Leo – Senne
Cutter – MM – TT

 

[Rybread86]

Ya I think 30 is about right. Kid sprouted out of no where and his weight has not caught up with his height. His "Ugly Duckling" phase, if you will.

 

[Ducks DVM]

I think it’s fair to say that he needs 20# to be able to play at all effectively, I think he needs 30# to hit his ceiling.

 

[SmokeyDuck]

He needs his own signature chipotle bowl that is all chicken breast lol. Got to pack on that muscle, he is slender.

What are the chances he gets a 9 game look?

I’d think this season not very likely, but next I bet they do what they tried to do with Luneau this season.

 

[MMC]

It would be kinda crazy if he wasn’t in the NHL full time in his D+2. I think Dylan Strome is the last 3rd overall who wasn’t. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was heavily load managed but I’d be pretty surprised if they didn’t want him in the NHL by then unless something goes horribly wrong in this upcoming season

Sounds like 99% of all prospects generic interviews

Yeah I just see no need to rush him. I’m 100% for it if he’s ready and has put on the necessary weight. If they do have it in the plans to have him up next season though, then might as well get him his 9 this season so they can see what they want him to focus on. I just think he’s such a string bean right now he’s got a while to grow into that frame, and I’m not sure 1 year is enough time.

 

[Boo Boo]

What are the chances he gets a 9 game look?

I think he will. Drysdale ,Carlsson and mctavish all played at 18 so I suspect that Beckett will get 9 games with a few scratches mixed in for intense weight training and a diet optimized for mass gain

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

What are the chances he gets a 9 game look?

I’ll bet he will. Extended rookie camp on a team not playing for anything this year. Sell a few more tickets, jerseys, nachos and beers.

Yeah I'm starting to think he will too. Starting to think he should be penciled into the opening day lineup.

Could go with something like this

Killorn-Carlsson-Zegras
Vatrano-McTavish-Terry
Gauthier-Strome-Sennecke

Breaks in our two start young wingers lower in the lineup with a vet at center and gives us a pretty intriguing top 9 to start the season with. Fabbri takes his spot once he goes back/when he's scratched

I hope there won't be people calling Sennecke a bust when he is sent back to Oshawa after playing in a couple of preseason games...
