Very interesting pick.
Would not have taken him that early, but the package is enticing for sure.

Watching his highlights, I get a Matt Boldy vibe from him. Tall, lanky, great hands, vision and shot. Needs to work on his strength and skating. As a Wild fan, if he was available at #13, I would've been pleased with him.

Interesting stuff on spittin chicklets. Apparently Shane Doan said Sennecke was his #2 prospect in the draft and could end up being the best player.
Never really liked Doan, but hopefully he’s right..

I guess it really comes down to how much weight you put into how he ended the season

Arizona had Soderstrom 3 on their board and moved up 3 spots for him. Ottawa had Boucher in their top 10.
Every year, there are franchises that have fun being original. The only original case that worked was Seider in 6 but the gap was smaller and in his profile as a rare right-handed and productive physical defender, that was understandable.

Show me on the wild wing doll where the ducks hurt you.

I am so jealous of the ducks. Great pick even if it was a reach.
This guy is gonna be a stud. Thank God he's out west

Have seen Boldy mentioned a few times and I just don’t see it. The pace is so different.

This the same guy who got embarrassed in the Rodwin Dionicio prospect page. Does his best to trash Ducks prospects, but he’s a joke

On the contrary, Anaheim gave a superb gift to my favorite franchise. Thanks for Demidov.

From what I gather the Ducks were far from the only team very high on Sennecke. He has every tool you want in a high end skilled player and there were many echoes that he would be picked much higher than people thought. In any case, Martin Madden has earned the benefit of the doubt.

There was hype at the end but from there to choosing him 3rd...
It still proves that the level of draft 24 was very average because usually a 2nd and 3rd pick is better than Levshunov and Sennecke.
Even 2018, which was said to be a weak draft, there was a general consensus with Svechnikov and Tkachuk.
Sennecke has never done anything in an international tournament, has very low offensive production for rank 3 even though he was next to superb players. I have a hard time seeing him as an elite talent. With 25 years of experience, this kind of profile becomes a 3rd line winger.
It wouldn't be surprising if this was a big mistake.
For me it's the WTF pick of the top 30. Choices 31 (Danford, Toronto) and 32 (O'Reilly, Edmonton), by their context are also stupid.
Afterwards, there may be an accounting calculation. It will take cap space to sign all the recent top 10 choices, so taking a less strong but perfectly complementary player in a more defensive role, it can be a strategy but in this case, it would have been worth trading down because he was not in the Columbus and Montreal papers for sure.
One of the biggest surprises since 2018 with Kotkaniemi, Hayton, Seider, Quinn, Boucher and Danielson. 4 lame situations, 1 neutral and 1 brilliant. That leaves you skeptical.

That took some guts to pick him, I could see how it will pay off as long as he puts in a lot of work on his lower body strength/balance.
I've got 6 vids that are just about shift to shift, from the OHL playoffs,

The pick was even better for the Habs though because it wasn't Demidov...

thats awesome. I was at the Sphere for the draft, and with all of the sweet effects going on, this was still far and away the highlight for me.

Lindholm only went slightly higher than expected. Not much of a reach. McTavish wasn't a reach. Carlsson absolutely not a reach at all - #2 was a toss up. Really just Sennecke. I wouldn't have done it myself, but pro scouts like him and it's easy to like his talent and rise.

I mean Anaheim did a similar thing in 2012 with lindholm and worked out pretty nicely
Lindholm was a pretty good size reach, there was a couple teams that really liked him…. But pretty sure he was projected in the teens

I always thought he was projected 9-12 or so. Maybe I'm mis-remembering though. I don't know how to dig up old posts well, but I'd be interested to see my own thoughts from 2012 on him after the draft.

I was trying to look some up, the mynhldraft.com mock in 2012 had him going 15 to Ottawa for what it’s worth…. But idk if that was an average or just 1 guys list
He was far enough away from 6 that I didn’t really know much about him because didn’t seem like a realistic option

Which duck prospect started this trend?
You remember that guy that used to constantly make polls with duck players vs Montreal players lol
Ok everyone. Close thread he’s a bust. This guy has 25 years experience.
Obvs better experience than the ducks scouting team. Do they even have access to hockey db?
