[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

The sick podcast just released one with Grant. The title is he wouldn't be surprised if Beckett goes top 3.

The sick podcast just released one with Grant. The title is he wouldn't be surprised if Beckett goes top 3.

I was like "who's Beckett". Then I realized it was his little name. Everyone just call him Sennecke...or Senn-nasty.

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Eiserman didn't.

[Kobe Armstrong]

Issue for us drafting Sennecke is our top 3 forwards are all right handed already, left shot forward would be ideal

But man Sennecke has great skating, hand eye, puck handling, and physicality. Always working hard but makes it look smooth.

Grant said that it also looks like it could be 5 forwards taken in the top 7, instead of 6 D in the top 9 as he previously had it.

Also said Sennecke could go as high as 2

Berkly Catton confirms to TVA that he is 5'11" 175 lbs. There's no danger here, the kid will get to an acceptable weight number for his size.

steve Y was not big either

 

[Schooner Guy]

Not you though, right?

Not sure why you're being personal with your cynicism about Sennecke but I've been raving about his play for many weeks since back when many thought he was a possibility with the Jets pick. I thought he looked great at the CHL prospects game.

Catton at 175 pounds !! Awesome

Great interview on TVA sports

.he said that numbers are not upsated and he is nkw at 175 pounds

He saiys that he sees himself more as a winger in the NHL and he says why not with Slaf and Dach

 

[Schooner Guy]

I wouldn't worry about that. Sennecke's a winger. Slaf shoots left and Caufield shoots right...the only entrenched wingers in our future core top 6.

Anyone has a chance to watch Justin Poirier ? Is he that good ? One-dimensional player ?

https://www.tvasports.ca/2024/05/02...ns-la-lnh-tout-devra-etre-remis-en-question-1

If he’s there with Colorado, I would jump on it

He’s a gamer that is not afraid to go in dirty area and he has one of the best shoot in the draft

Didn't mean to be a jerk I just don't remember seeing much Sennecke hype from February-March. You have been a big fan of Sennecke I know that.

It's just crazy people hear one compelling argument from Grant and move a guy they previously had in the teens up to #5

He's amazing. He's like Gallagher but with one of the best shot in the draft, probably top 5. He finds open ice super well and he's actually pretty mean, like he hits and disrupts. I love him as a player and depending on who's there, I wouldn't mind picking him up in the 1st.

I don't even know what Grant's compelling argument is. Sennecke's play since January can't be denied nor can his skill level and his crazy growth spurt. Wait until he fills out and fully learns how to play with all that additional height.

It's good to have so many forwards emerging towards the top. We'll have good forward options whether we pick at 1 or at 7.

Catton - 5'11, 170ish pounds.
Electric skater.
Insane desire to perform.
Coachable and works on his weaknesses.
High character.
High skill.

He's still on the menu, boys.

Catton has just confirmed to Anthony Martineau and Marco D'amico that he is now at 5.11 175!!

Btw Damico said that Suzuki was at 5.11 175 the day of his draft and 190 at 20 years old...now he is at 212.

Catton will be at 185 to 195 I guess at his prime !!! ..with his IQ....Catton is a no brainer at all

 

[Schooner Guy]

Eiserman didn't.

What happened with Eiserman and an interview? I obviously missed something.

Catton doesn’t have the same frame as Suzuki. Don’t think he can put on 15 lbs of muscle. The kid looks frail as hell in pictures. Obsiouvly this isn’t science as i don’t know him personnally.

Suzuki was 183 pounds at the draft combine.

I agree with the premise behind what he's saying, but he should check his facts first.

NHL Combine Saturday is underway. We now have the heights and weights of this season's crop of prospects. Here is the list.

[Kobe Armstrong]

For the Habs though, it seems like Iginla is now out of the picture unless something crazy happens like we drop down to 7 and every forward goes top 5

Celebrini, Demidov, Lindstrom, Catton, Sennecke seem like the 5 most likely

Iginla's really gotta come with some cheese in his draft interview if he wants to be in consideration. He should say he's been studying MSL highlights and motivational speeches from coaches around the league

In my view Suzuki is too heavy at 212.....at 30 years it could catch him.

Catton will be at atound 185 to 190 I guess at 22..perfect

How do you know? Is Bobrov communicating with you?

Hard to say cause look he was at 163 few months ago and now he is at 175....so 185-190 at 22, 23 years old is easy to figure out

 

[FrankMTL]

McCagg thinks that 5 of the top 7 players in the draft are forwards:

Celebrini
Demidov
Lindstrom
Sennecke
Iginla

 

[Benstheman]

What are the scouting reports on Colton Roberts?? Seems like a good RHD candidate with Colorado's 2nd round pick or our 3rd.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

McCagg thinks that 5 of the top 7 players in the draft are forwards:

Celebrini
Demidov
Lindstrom
Sennecke
Iginla

I'd say 5 of the top 8.

Celebrini
Demidov
Catton
Lindstrom
Iginla

I've got Helenius and Sennecke at 10 and 11

Knee jerk scouting is the best scouting lmao.

 

[The Great Weal]

I have PTSD from guys who skyrocket in lists in such a short period of time.
