Bekkett Sennecke (3rd overall pick) got off to a real slow start with Oshawa as well. 0 Points through his first 3 games but he had a goal and an assist today. Barlow with 1 shot on goal and -3 for the game. 0 points through 5 games.

What the hell is the matter with this guy! Some personal problems? Nagging injury? He is in his draft plus 2 season and he should be feasting in the OHL - generally the easiest junior league in Canada to boost one stats.

Probably sulking.

I don’t think Team Canada is remotely in the picture now. Not that it ever really was.

Funny how quickly things can change in one year. This time last year we were talking about our two natural leaders and future captains - McGroarty and Barlow.
 
It could be nagging injuries or change of scenery or some other issue he has going on…but sometimes you have to wonder if the early numbers he put up were helped by the fact he was 4-5 years ahead of his age group maturity wise and now everyone else has both caught up and figured his game out?

I think its the change if scenery and lack of growth potential of going back to junior again.
 
Barlow's bailing on Owen Sound, his start with Oshawa and his poor skating make him look terrible thus far. Thank God we have later round picks like He miles ahead of where we thought they were.

I'm not expecting much from Barlow at this point, doesn't seem to be progressing at all as a prospect. If he does actually make the NHL then I can just be pleasantly surprised when that time comes.

This is probably the roughest start to a D+2 season from a Jets 1st round pick. Even Vesalainen was doing well in the KHL at the same stage and Stanley made some big strides.

Still only 5 games, lots of time left in the season so hopefully he can turn it around.

He clearly spent too much time bonding with McGrotty at dev camp, realizes now the horrible mistake he made in signing an ELC here in this podunk, and is now "working to rule" so the Jets get fed up with him and trade him to a more desirable market.

Hey, it's a possibility. Stranger things, as they say... :nod:
 
Will preface by saying I don't think either was a reach and was good with the picks at the time.

I do find it at least a little funny that the 2 picks they made for the big time intangibles guys are looking like duds and meanwhile the huge question mark Brad Lambert is the crown of the prospect group.

I think you always go for pure upside in the first round.

Barlow may have trouble adjusting to the new team, but he's still recording a ton of shots on net, so it's not like he's not getting his chances.

He'll start to put the puck in the net at some point. It's the rest of his game he's really got to work on this year.
 
Barlow had red flags with the assist numbers he put up last year. Should be putting up more than that as a high draft pick. Lacking hockey sense?? I know his thing is his shot but u with his skating he’s gonna need more then that.

At this point who trades for him? You'd just be giving up a more valuable asset if it was any where close to Barlow's original draft value.

Sorry, I don't play the NHL GM: Home Version game. I'm sure if you started a "value of" thread on the trade board, you would get lots of interesting proposals.
 
On one hand it’s still too early to care, but on the other hand he had a full beard at 17 and may have already maxed out physically. Wish the Jets took a C like Ritchie instead
