Speculation: With the third pick in the 2024 NHL draft the Anaheim Ducks select...(Draft is June 28th @ 4pm PT. ESPN. ESPN+)

He can blast his shot hard unlike Owen Power. Another reason he's compared to Chara/Pronger/Weber is he can really rip it.

That might be the only way a D can crack the top PP unit. I imagine Zellweger has the inside track on top unit PP QB. Friday can't get here quick enough

Yeah, because you know, by Saturday morning somebody will start a new thread, "What were they thinking?".

 

[Rasp]

Sennecke is climbing the odds. I really hope this happens he will be such a good player

 

[Dirk316]

I've said many times you need a balance of skill and toughness. The top 6 has no toughness whatsoever. Where is the balance? Of course most here want to add Demidov who continues this trend

Lol, it'll be a guy that's way off the board...

Who other than Lindstrom would be worth taking at 3OA that fits that description?

Demidov is 6'1 and about 190, he aint some softie.

This is an essential point. Yes, Demidov would be new and flashy and exciting, but his skill set is a redundancy for the Ducks (Zegras). We need to support those skills with someone who can accept his flashy passes and bury them AND stand up when he gets pushed around. To me, that's Lindstrom or Sennecke.

 

[ADHB]

Its certainly not ridiculous to say that small, low intensity, physically frail wingers with average speed dont do as well in the playoffs. With that said, I dont know anything for sure. All I know is that is not the DNA of what PV is trying to build and I dont see him playing well with any of our other top young players because, in my opinion, his production is driven off of individual play.

And I didnt say I would trade him but I would listen. If Sennecke falls to 13-14ish and our scouts love him, that may be worth a trade proposal. I get that it really sucks for us fans but if a guy we really like is there it may be best for us in the long run. That's all I am saying.


I have ZERO interest in trading Zegras for 5OA. He is an incredibly smart player that I think is going to really flourish with more talent around him and more effective defensemen on the ice. I wouldnt trade him for anyone but Celebrini in this draft.

Dont put words in my mouth.

Verbeek literally just signed Terry to a huge extension. Please explain to me how that means he’s not a Verbeek style player.

 

[HanSolo]

So who all is going to be there on day 1 or 2?

Day 1

 

[FiveTacos]

A bonus to getting Demidov would be to piss off those annoying Habs fans on the MB. That would be sweet.

You say that now, but after about the 30th proposal to get Demidov for a B prospect and a late 1st you'll want to gouge your own eyes out. It also might amp up the Zegras proposals.

I might actually prefer Lindstrom or Sennecke, let them have Demidov ... And then chuckle if he turns out to not be as good as advertised. Then propose trading Hinds and a late 1st for him.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

You would think that with all the f***ing food reviews Stephens does he'd be on it to know who the Ducks are taking to dinner, wouldn't he?

I bet you he rolls his eyes when he actually has to cover the Ducks.

Dirk - what do you think of Sennecke?

 

[Ducks]

My only request is that if we draft Silayev we nickname him The Mountain.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Goddamn, I really am starting to get giddy and excited. LOL

 

[Deuce22]

Not sure what Utah has to do with trading back to 5 with Montreal. I’ll take your word on CBJ being high on him though. If that’s the case and we really like him, I guess you do just take him at 3.

I still think we will pick a D but I’m okay with any of Demidov/Lindstrom/Silayev/Dickinson/Sennecke at this point

There’s risk involved in Silayev moreso than the others in my opinion because I’m not sure he’s more than a 30 point player really. But I trust us with defensemen so I’ll be excited


Agree here. It’s also a little weird that this board has convinced themselves that the Terry of last year is the Terry we’re getting the next 6 years.

As if players never have down seasons and bounce back…

Terry’s great season was his career outlier, not last year.

 

[AngelDuck]

What? He’s been great 2 of the last 3 seasons. On horrendous teams.

[Terry Yake]

i really can't get on board with taking sennecke at 3. that's just far too big of a risk considering the state of this franchise

 

[Dirk316]

I bet you he rolls his eyes when he actually has to cover the Ducks.



Dirk - what do you think of Sennecke?

I like him probably my 3rd choice after Lindstrom and Silayev especially if he developes more of a power forward mindset

 

[FiveTacos]

Goddamn, I really am starting to get giddy and excited. LOL

Don't worry that's just the fumes from the orange dye on the new jerseys.

 

[Deuce22]

Meh. 23 goals/61 points isn’t a top six standout for me. Not giving him credit for being better than the other stiffs Ducks iced.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Again, nobody has any f***ing clue what we are going to do. Insiders, press, they are all over the place. Maybe we get a better idea Friday morning like last year.

Disagree there were people who were on Carlsson to Anaheim for awhile last year

 

[Anaheim4ever]

My only request is that if we draft Silayev we nickname him The Mountain.

McTavish is Jon Snow. Drysdale reminded me of an older Bran....maybe that's why he was injury prone. Gaucher is Jon Snows red bearded friend from the north.

 

[Deuce22]

More “insiders” had Ducks taking Fantilli.

 

[HanSolo]

Yeah I'm not super jazzed for Sennecke. Would rather trade down if he's the target.
