Folks, stop the bickering and off-topic stuff. Thanks.
He is a project pick. In 3-4 years he will 100% be one of the best from this draft unless he deals with injuries (knock on wood)The only way the Sennecke pick makes sense is if he progresses much more than a normal top pick over the next 3-4 years, both physically and skill wise.
He is not a guy who is going to be coming into the league and competing for the Calder in the next two years.
So he’s a potential nice compliment piece?
Anaheim has good young centers in zegras carlsson, mctavish and gauthier we need compliments to them.
After watching more of sennecke and seeing him at prospect camp, I’ve warmed up to him more(Buium is the guy I wanted, well levshunov but I figured he wouldn’t be there at 3).
Is it a gamble pick for sure but there is obvious potential in sennecke…. And a ton of room to add muscle/mass to his frame. Would be interesting to see who else we were discussing
Anaheim was never taking a Russian, for better or worse we don’t use high picks on Russians…. I imagine buium was pretty intriguing for us, but LHD we are very deep on.

I didn’t research any lhd going into the draft really(outside of guys at potential 3 spot)… go figure we took 3 lolHmmm... I do wonder if Verbeek was thinking of an "elite, complementary winger" if Lev wasn't available. Sennecke didn't break out until he was paired with Calum.
Anaheim's 2023, 2nd round pick, F Nico Myatovic, is a prospect of similar stature to Sennecke. Nico is 6'3 and 187 lbs. Madden described Myatovic as an "elite complementary winger" for the top-6 centers. Anaheim has three top-6 centers in Zegras, McTavish, and Carlsson.
I think there's a little more there for Sennecke despite the very small sample at the end of the season. Brad Allen from Hockey Prospecting citied that a forward prospect who lacks top end goal scoring was a red flag, but that goal scoring did turn on later into the season.
Sennecke Season Games G A Pts PPG +/- G/GP D+0 63 27 41 68 1.08 33 0.43Oct-Jan 42 15 24 39 0.93 16 0.36Feb-Mar 21 12 17 29 1.38 17 0.57. Playoffs 16 10 12 22 1.38 9 0.63
Still, Lindstrom's goal scoring was better than Sennecke, but maybe the Anaheim organization wants to avoid the health concerns of Lindstrom's back.
As for Buium being a possibility at #3OA, but Anaheim was deep at LHD to pick Buium doesn't make sense. I say that because the Ducks then drafted LD Solberg later in round 1, LD Tarin Smith in round 3, and LD Uljanskis in the 7th round.

2024 World Junior Summer Showcase: Who stood out on Day 4
Canada and Sweden skated off with wins on the penultimate day of the week-long event.www.dailyfaceoff.com
"#20 Beckett Sennecke, RW (Anaheim Ducks): Sennecke was hungry off the hop, showing good speed and landing a couple of big hits in his first two shifts. He then helped set up Tij Iginla’s first goal before his physical play, which led to another one on the next shift. Sennecke then scored the 6-2 goal on the power play to open the third on as good of a shot as you’ll find. Sennecke has not only grown physically over the past year, but he also just thinks the game at a much higher level than he did early on. Today, it felt like he just wanted to knock down anyone who came near him, and he then was good enough to create damage on the scoresheet."

He's still got a ton of filling out to do. He will be much stronger in 3-4 years. I also think that adding strength will not be for him to bully people a la Tkachuk, but more to hold off checks so he can hold onto the puck long enough to make plays, and maintain scoring positions near the net, among many things.So a skilled very smart player is now realizing he is big enough to physically bully people. That's an interesting mix of ability

I love this guy, but think that ANA took him too early. If i was them I would've traded back a few spots if they were really intent on taking him, and picked up another 2nd, or maybe 1st in a later year.

We traded back when we wanted to draft Erik Karlsson and ended up with Gardiner. I think since then we just pick whoever we want.He's still got a ton of filling out to do.

Pretty much...We traded back when we wanted to draft Erik Karlsson and ended up with Gardiner. I think since then we just pick whoever we want.
i agree he was a reach but other teams were going to pick him so the chance to trade back and get him apparently wasnt realisticHe's still got a ton of filling out to do.

Not sure I see Terry being moved at all.His skillset and playstyle is perfect for what Anaheim is doing he joins the young core of Carlsson McTavish and Gauthier they have size skill and two way ability also Sennecke could be the Terry replacement
I can't speak for Columbus but Montreal definitely wouldn't have picked him over Demidov even if Sennecke was available.The issue is a couple of the teams behind Anaheim were high on him too….
If I remember correctly columbus/Montreal and Utah had him high on their lists and prob would have taken him.
I can't speak for Columbus but Montreal definitely wouldn't have picked him over Demidov even if Sennecke was available.
Sennecke definitely needs to fill out a bit but with kids these days you never really know. I wouldn’t be surprise if he made the jump in his D+2 if he keep progressing like he did over the last 6 months.Sennecke still has to fill out, he's obviously a late bloomer so you're talking about probably one year, maybe two, before he joins the NHL. I think he has the hockey sense to adapt around his current dangle-everyone junior playstyle, but that will take time. He's unfortunately just slightly too young to play in the AHL in his D+2.
In the first scenario, I think Havs take Sennecke.Chances are if we traded down the team moving up was grabbing Demidov/lindstrom… example
Celebrini
Levshunov
Demidov
Lindstorm
-who is Montreal picking then?
Or
Celebrini
Lecshunov
Lindstorm
-who is columbus taking?
It was prob deemed to risky from our mangement, and we got screwed before trying to do that. Hence why we didn’t trade down for hampus lindholm and we didn’t for sennecke
Possibly, but again we don’t really know and there was enough smoke that columbus/Montreal liked sennecke that it made the idea of trading down not very appealingSennecke definitely needs to fill out a bit but with kids these days you never really know. I wouldn’t be surprise if he made the jump in his D+2 if he keep progressing like he did over the last 6 months.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a similar route than Huberdeau had and make the jump quicker than expected and be successful early on
In the first scenario, I think Havs take Sennecke.
In the second scenario, in the odd chance Columbus take Buium or another D and Habs have to decide between Sennecke and Demidov they still take Demidov. They really, really like the player
