RW Zachary Senyshyn - Sault Ste Marie Greyhounds, OHL (2015, 15th, BOS)
- Thread starter 1972
- Start date
The most impressive part is the fact that he grabbed the puck from deep in his own zone before exploding through the middle of the ice on that 1 on 2. Really showed off the plus skating.
Bruin fans hate patches, so they will disappointed if zach ends up like patches

Max Pacioretty? Are you for real??
The absolute worst comparison, Senyshyn offers absolutely nothing to the hounds when he isn't directly involved in the play. It's so frustrating and part of the reason why his point totals are low. His scoring touch seems to be all or nothing... So essentially he's either making an amazing play or completely uninvolved.
If Bruins fans want something positive... Take solace in the fact that he's probably better than Blake Speers.. Neither are A level prospects though.
EDIT: I should clarify that I just watched Ritchie, McCann, DeAngelo, Nurse, etc. for a year. My perspective on what is and isn't a good nhl prospect might be broken at the moment.

I don't, Max is a great player and fun to watch.
Glad Movie Max represents the US.
SOO team in those years were wayyyyy better too, everybody look better on a good team. this year offense is very poor but Senyshyn still score at more than .50 goals a game. he need to improve in certain area of his game but he's far from a goals scorer or nothing. I see him winning most of his battle around the board, Good defensively.
I know you are mad because the Bruins pass Barzal and Connor. but at least give the kid a chance. I remember how people laugh at the jets for drafting Mark Scheifele. yes they pass on Hamilton and couturier but he still a very good young player.Right now I take Scheifele over Couturier, so wait and see.
that would be like me being mad that the bruins took konecny over connor. not a 3rd round talent over any of the true 1st round talent. It doesn't matter if I give him a chance, he won't amount to anything. It's plain to see when you watch the Soo. Sorry, but it's true. It was a massive reach, hell even Debrusk was a reach at that pick. They were horrible picks by the Bruins and everyone outside Bruins fans knows it. Barzal, Konecny and Connor are looking dominant in their games, every game they play. Senyshyn pops up on the score sheet and every now and then looks good, but NEVER dominant. He will top out as a 3rd line forward. I know several Bruins fans who were adamant that Jared Knight was going to be a star...how did that work out? But instead of admitting he sucks, there were excuses all over the place and I expect the same for when Senyshyn and Debrusk amount to nothing.
A lot of fans also said that Marchand and Bergeron we're going to be something special and they were.. It works both ways.
From the games I've seen of Senyshen he looks like he could be a very solid 25-20 type player with a strong defensive game and game breaking speed. Nothing wrong with that at all.
Do I think Barzal will be better? Definitely. He has ppg type potential that I don't think Senyshen has, but that doesn't make Senyshen a bad player or guarantee that Barzal will reach that potential.

You're counting Virtanen's 9 games as a 15 year old. In his second full season in the WHL, he put up 71 points in 71 games - a point-per-game.
16 points in 21 games is a pretty bad draft+1 season. It's early yet so we'll see if Senyshen picks up his offensive play but a lot more should be expected of a player drafted 15th overall. Very few players who fail to put up a point-per-game in the CHL the year after they are drafted become significant offensive players in the NHL.
At the same time, the season is early yet and there is still a chance Senyshen starts producing more. However, at the draft Senyshen was seen as a reach at 15 overall and his current production hasn't changed that view.

It seems tough to look beyond draft position with this guy - I guess the big question seems to be was he picked too early and if so by how much?

There is no guarantee that Senyshyn will be a bust with the your comments. Jared Knight has nothing to do with Senyshyn as a player. The OHL is not even close to being over and Senyshyn is already a bust, that is terrible on your part.
What is true is you want to make sure that you let everyone know that Hamilton trade has already been one. You are in defense mode and will knock any Bruins porspect.
You don't know if the picks were horrible until the prospects play in the AHL and NHL.
I agree with you, Senyshyn could really developp in a fast north south player without creativity but with ok hands and shot. A kind of Dan Paille with a little bit better hands.

I mentioned earlier he likely would have made it to the 2nd round as not many wingers were chosen in the late first. Assuming of course Senyshyn wasn't at the top of other teams lists before the 1st round picks they actually made.

Coming from someone that doesn't capitalize players names nor knows how to use paragraph breaks or space for punctuation that's pretty funny.
A+ plus on the Knight reference. You just knew that prediction was right.
It seems extremely unlikely that the Bruins would have made such a big reach if no one else had him at the top of their list.
It's been mentioned before, but both the Leafs and Red Wings ( and possible one other team ) wanted Senyshyn in the first round.

Haven't heard that before, mind posting a source? I thought it was the Oilers that had him on their board for the next pick.

Maybe but Oilers were going to move on Reinhart if Isles were interested. I've heard the leafs don't know if it extends past the Dubas and Keefe link though. Seems since Burke and the Nonis (and his staff left) the media doesn't have great sources in the organization anymore.

His team is nowhere as good as last year. He's not buried on a 3rd line, facing 3rd and 4th line competition anymore. Hasn't scored a PP goal in 24 of his 25 games played. Complete joke of a pick.

Can you link to your pre-draft lists for the past few years? You're quite an expert.
