W Beckett Sennecke - Oshawa Generals, OHL (2024, 3rd, ANA)

[JiricekSaveUs]

What does he project as? Who are his comparables in the NHL currently?

I see Necas

I think from a career trajectory he could be similar to Kempe. His speed will help him PK and it will take some time for the offense.

 

[HabsAddict]

I might being overly picky - but I would have considered Jason Spezza elite and certainly a top line player. Calling him "useful" and a "top 6" is a huge undersell IMO.

Elite to a 65 year Habs fan is a bit different then most...

IF we draft Sennecke, of course i will "settle" for Spezza level.

 

[PattyLafontaine]

I see Sennecke as the next Jason Spezza.

Not elite but highly useful and a top 6.

Yout take that running.

The best #14 pick of all time was Ken Dryden

D is pretty solid as there were plenty of other D-men with 500+ NHL games.

Not in the NHL currently, but Benoit Pouliot.

 

[SlafySZN]

Probably my favorite prospect this year outside the Celebrini, Demidov.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Chris Peters said he would not be shocked if he went top 5, there's a lot of buzz around the kid,

 

[57special]

Only 4 posts for one of the biggest risers in the draft? In a draft that is not short of players with high upsides, this guy might have one of the highest. Crazy talent, just needs his body to catch up to his imagination. I think he'll be a top 10 pick. There is too much there to like, even though his point totals are dwarfed by the likes of Catton, Parekh, and Demidov. Hell, Parascak scored 50% more points than him.

oops...wonder why the search function didn't call that up for me.

Anyway, for comparisons I have a less polished, but eventually faster Boldy. They have similar imaginations when it comes to stick handling and passing. Another comparison for old timers, if Sennecke continues to grow, is a wing version of Pete Mahovlich.

Ummm.. Deadmarsh was a 2nd-3rd line right winger, not a dman.

And you think McAvoy would be your #7 dman? I think he's 1st by a wide margin, of the 7 dmen you have listed there.

 

[DeletedUser539]

People in here are just tacking on whatever comparison sounds good to them, with maybe a quick glance at stat lines and height. I watched Getzlaf live a lot when he was in juniors and Sennecke is nothing the same, and he certainly isn’t anything like the NHL version of Getzlaf.

Bobby Ryan comes to mind

He reminds me a lot of John Daly.

I'm fascinated to see where Sennecke goes in this draft. I watched him more early in the year & he flashed high end ability with a chippy element, but down the stretch of the year he rly put it together & caught fire.

The 'comparable' I've come too is Alex Tuch.

Not perfect as Sennecke is a better handler/dangler/more creative, less of a big shooter atm than Tuch (tho hes not bad), but similar in that they are big play driving wingers who can barrel into the zone. Any team would love to add Tuch to their top 6 & Sennecke can reach that impactful top 6 level for sure.

Again fascinated to see where he goes, Iginla too, can't wait for draft day.

Tuch, as a prospect, wasn't nearly as fast as he eventually became. Had some skill, and a very nice shot. I love him as a prospect because he is so out there, in terms of his game. I still see more Boldy than Tuch in him. Boldy also had that giraffe look to him for 2 -3 years after his draft.

They don’t play at all the same, and Tuch was ~40 lbs heavier and 2” taller at the same age and played like it. Strange comparison.

 

[LeProspector]

Pretty sure he’s going third

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

Pretty sure he’s going third

Reminds me of when Dach went third a bit

I meant more what he's become in the NHL, big fast play driving winger. But fair enough.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Pretty sure he’s going third

Anaheim seems pretty locked into defense but I could see Timmins going there at 4, though I think Lindstrom is more his speed.

 

[Rasp]

I would love him at Anaheim. What makes you think he will go to the Ducks?

Yeah I can see the lanky, fast, slick hand type of player but does he have Boldy shot?

 

[Michoulicious]

Wheeler said he's in the mix at #3 for Anaheim.

Not sure what are his sources.
