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

[Static]

I talked to Sennecke tonight at the Gens pre-season game lol, so directly from his mouth! The beauty of a Jr hockey game!

Wow unbelievable. Thank you for the info!

Wow unbelievable. Thank you for the info!

Not Sennecke, but kind of Sennecke news:

The Generals are rumoured to be going to trade for Colby Barlow (WPG 1st rounder) so Sennecke might be on a line with him and Calum Ritchie (COL 1st rounder) this season lol. Could be one of the better OHL lines ever if that happens

This reminds me of that clip of the NBA commentator turning around and asking the player during warmups if he's playing LOL

This would mean he might be in the ducks camp..

When is it? He’s just starting to skate this week so not sure how aggressive they’ll be with rushing him back

Sometime late into September

That timeline sounds a lot better than the Anaheim media reported one. Some terrible journalism there from whoever had the initial report.

It was just the Anaheim social team. I highly doubt they're "journalists" and more likely just posting what they're told to post, when they're told to post it.

He's ready. The Ducks need to give him the 9 games! Injection of size and skill! Come on Ducks!

You’re nuts. He’s not ready, at all. Kid just grew like 4 inches in less than a year and broke out in the second half. Fans who don’t watch players in junior should be wise enough to not make crazy pronouncements like this.

Pretty sure he is being sarcastic.

Fair enough lol be interesting to see how he looks tonight. First game since the world junior summer showcase.

 

[SmokeyDuck]

Looked pretty damn good. Unpolished and a string bean, but the puck follows him around and his vision and reads were superb.

He didn't end up on the scoresheet but outside of a couple bad experiments with the puck on his stick (like a slow toe drag with a defender right in front of him that got snuffed out immediately) and one notably bad defensive play, he looked very solid and not one bit out of place at a much higher level of play than he's accustomed to. He's definitely too thin to be in the NHL this year, but his vision and involvement in the overall pace and flow of play was way higher than I was expecting. I thought there'd be much more of an adjustment needed than what he actually showed. I was iffy about the pick when and after it was made but I can definitely see why the Ducks brass liked him so much. I see his floor as a second line winger and all he needs to do to get to that level is bulk up and get a little more experience. But the potential is there for him to be a dynamic first liner.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

I don't have a problem getting him in a few regular season games and then sending him back, with high expectation picks it's not a bad idea to give them a taste of what the pro game is like and knowing what they need to work on

Probably better to send him down. There's not enough role for him at the moment, he's not gonna bump Terry, Killorn, or Vatrano down to the 4th line.

Although if he bulks up a good amount there's almost no chance he plays out his junior eligibility next year. Game wise, he looks very advanced.

Injury risk given his frame.

How did he look yesterday beside his shootout goal?

He was coming off injury, so there was a bit of rust, also his first taste of nhl play but overall looked solid, skill is obvious despite his lack of mass he wasn’t afraid to work along the boards and go to the front of the net. Great vision and hands.

Def should go back to jrs and work on gaining strength + weight and just really learn to use his new frame…. But I think he’s going to be a great weapon in Anaheim. Future top 6 w/

Gauthier carlsson mctavish and sennecke is going to be a lot of beef to handle in the playoffs for other teams. All 4 guys could play at 215- 230 pounds with speed and skill… going to be a pretty good forward group in the near future.

It's only one preseason game so can't read too much into it, but that said if someone didn't know who he was and saw that game, I don't think they'd be the slightest bit surprised to find out he went in the top 5 a few months ago.
