Kid reminds me of Jason Spezza, especially the way he handles himself in traffic. Wonder if he can play center?? Excellent breakdown btw. I’ve watched several of your reports and gotta say…you’re really good at this stuff. Keep ‘em coming!
I heard a scout saying one of the most important aspect of a player for him for evaluation is the player’s progression through the year, and Sennecka had a significant progression this year. Look at these plays, I looked at other reports, he has good size, he is awesome. He has things to improve of course but I like him. If the Canadiens draft him with their 5th pick, it would be ok for me, they are the "expert", they know better than me.
I can see why Mtl Scouts are high on him, very shifty and agile with both scoring and playmaking abilities. His skating looks good too. Also fun player to watch, things happen around him. I haven't seen any games with him at all more highlights and reports like this one, really like what I see though. Like him much more than Iggy that some are very high on. Iggy is fine to me but this kid got more fantasy and hockey sense imo.
Thanks for another excellent video, Simon. This might be a bit of a far out comparison, but some of the ways he handles the puck reminds me of Peter Mahovlich. Similar big, gangly body with limbs going every which way, yet exhibiting great skill that is near impossible to defend because he seems to make things up in the spur of the moment. Peter was bigger than Sennecke, but the latter might put on another inch or two.
Hey great video! I had a question. How do you get all these clips? I would love to review old game tapes but I can’t find anything except live watching which is not something i’m willing to do.
Idc what everyone keeps saying. They will say oh i dont want him top 5 and usually thats only because hes past 10 in some mock drafts. But thats because his rough start to the season in which he was just getting uae to hia new size! He finished the second half as easily the best forward out of anyone else and did it when it matters most in the playoffs! Hes going to be a beast! People will laugh at me but hes not far off from demidov and is alot bigger. I can see this kid hitting 80-100 pts! Anywhere passed top 7 and hes a real steal. If you actually went to his games in the end of the season and playoffs and watch him play a full game youl see how dominant he is! Look how bad this team was against london when he was injured and not playing
Good question. It will be answered in the next video, but Sennecke. It's an interessting question because, like I said, at the start of the year, I saw Sennecke as a uy who would creep into the top 10 by the end of the year. I was right, however, there was some rough moment throughout the year for him. And as far as Greentree, I had a hard time grasping his game at first, but by December, his progression was insane ! At that point, he had the progression I would have thought that Sennecke would have. His skating improved and that changed his whole game (there's still some work to be done at this level) , he started taking over shifts once he realized that he wasn't anchored down by his skating and that he could cover more ground on the ice. Up until the month of April I had Greentree ahead, but I think his overall Hockey-Sense isn't that strong and a lot of it was covered by playing for a weak team where he had all of the leeway possible. Plus, in 20+ games, I saw him throw 5 hits, at best. Sennecke has some grit. But the Deal-Breaker for me is the Hockey-Sense, I think Sennecke edges him off by a good margin in that aspect.
