If he isn't then Demidov or Lindstrom are. It's always a good thing if someone plays themselves up into the conversation, rather than people falling out of it.
If he keeps the progression up throughout the playoffs, yes. I know we all dunk on Grant, myself included, but he does still have connections (through Timmins, obviously).

No, it's not a bad thing at all.
This is a similar phenomenon to what happened with Kirby Dach. You get drafted at 5'10, then you hit a massive growth spurt in a few months go to 6'2 (though Dach went from like 5'9 to 6'4), and you are so uncoordinated you're like a puppy with big paws.
That's why Sennecke was rated very highly early with modest production. Now the production is coming and his coordination is starting to come into play.
These aren't fan driven though, they are coming from those around the scouting community. Sennecke was always highly regarded prior to the production.
Dude you'd love him if you watched him. Big, skilled, gets inside.
Sennecke's skating alone sets him apart from Greentree.
This is a great post.
We know the Habs love late risers, as do most teams. If you've got someone on a steep upward trajectory and the athletic and skill profile is high, along with a guy who is playing between the dots, has great short area skill and is problem solving at a high level?
Imagine what they think they could do with him in the hands of Adam Nicholas?
One funny thing is that a lot of the posters bemoaning the late rise of Sennecke have been supporters of the late rise of Iginla. What's the difference here? They were both considered mid/late 1st rounders coming into the year and through the first half. I would wager Iginla's last name carries some bias.
