@Mrb1p said he watched 20 games and compared him to Benoit Pouliot

Concerning 😟

I don't see Benoit Pouliot at all here. Sennecke can finish, Sennecke has some stick handling. Sennecke just plays too small in a 6'3'' frame, his mind has not caught up to his size yet. Also, he can turn into a spectator too often, he's not always committed. That was not Pouliot's problem. Pouliot had a low IQ.

Jeff Carter....

By most accounts this could easily be read as poor hockey IQ. Lack of coordination as well. The language of discussing a player's intepretation of the game is often limited but you're speaking out of both sides of your mouth when you say he's nothing like a low IQ prospect and then describe low IQ things.

Again, more if X than Y accusations...

One should judge the IQ part of these aspects to see if they are evolving over time. They are evolving over time very well.

Part of following him for the past 3 years helps you make a difference between what is and isn't IQ. In the first half of the season, Sennecke was just tired all of time, he gained 5 inches over the summer. Then he started to move in the right direction as soon as he didn't fell apart 25 seconds in his shifts.

How the f*** would we know? It was literally made public yesterday.

Jesus dude...
There’s these people called reporters who report on things sports related. They tend to congregate at big events and let the world know what they see and hear.

One such event is the NHL draft combine, which is currently taking place. Lots of quotes and interviews with players and scouts are happening. They even talk medical and concerns with players.

These reporters then share information on something called the internet. It’s a worldwide communication method that is instantaneous. A large platform on this internet is referred to as X, formerly known as Twitter. Reporters will share information on this platform because it has a lot of eyes and it’s free.

Typically reporters like to be the first to disclose pertinent information as it helps with their credibility and popularity.

You would think that someone would have said “teams are concerned about Sennecke’s concussion” yet this has not happened. I wonder why that is. Perhaps it’s because teams are not concerned?

Dinner with Lindstrom Tuesday. Dickinson dinner Thursday.

Maybe the Memorial Cup run from Dickinson changed their projection of him - or the playoffs did.

Not that dinner meant anything to the Habs in the Slaf year, but taking Dickinson out after being pretty adamant about no LD is strange.. could be to also turn the heat up on potential trade offers.

2022 was a really important franchise decision to make. They likely leaned Slaf and wanted to give the others one more chance to give the team a reason to change their minds, which they didn’t.

It could also be a simple booking thing. I know these growing 18 year old athletes probably eat like horses, but likely only have one dinner per night. If they are asked by another team first, you can’t really do much but take another one out.
