Prospect Info: Brett Seney -LW- (157th Overall 2015)

[Emperoreddy]

I seriously hope no one ever connects a big hit on him. He might die. Dat speed doe.

He has some slick skill too. IDK for a 6th rounder I am fine with it. Odds are whoever we picked here will never sniff the NHL.

 

[DevilsJunkie]

Not gonna lie, seeing that highlight reel gave me a woody.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

I mean, isn't Marner ~150 pounds too?

 

[The Wumpus]

Wow, this kid can flat-out fly.

I like this pick. I'll take someone with a 5% chance of being Tyler Johnson (or even Nathan Gerbe) over someone with a 25% change of being Dwight King every day. (nothing against the Dwight Kings of the world, but they are easier to find via UFA, waivers, etc...)

 

[Emperoreddy]

I mean, isn't Marner ~150 pounds too?

He is taller though. This kid is pretty damn small.

BUT...if you are this fast and with good hands you can find a role potentially.

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

Hes the next Datsyuk

Book it

Oh, I thought he would be Brett Hull because of his name, but I suppose I can settle for a Datsyuk.

On a more serious note, I like the fact that he seems to be another player who can skate well, and good hands are always a nice asset. Hopefully he can improve the defensive aspects of his game and continue to develop offensively.

 

[Rebel Devil]

Not that this kid in particular wI'll ever be a player, but the emphasis on speed makes some sense with the NHL going to 3 on 3 OT. You can't have a team full of plodders and expect to win in that format.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I mean I like what he represents more then anything. An attempt to infuse speed and skill into our forward corp.

 

[ghoti]

He got a lot of goals in the video by being positioned correctly and being good on the cycle. They weren't all end-to-end rushes.

It'll be fun to follow Merrimack for the next few years.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Gaudreau is about the same size, no?

Like when DeBoer put out Clowe and Zubrus in OT? That was something special.

DeBoer really made some memories in his time here.

 

[Fear the Wushu]

Leading scorer on his team and after watching the highlight video this kid is really ****ing good and skilled. That goal against Minnesota is unreal.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

Ha, ha, Shero putting together a track team speed, speed and more speed. Loving it. Hopefully, the kid sprouts up a bit.

 

[JimEIV]

Hockeydb list him as 5'9 170
Elite prospects 5'9 159

 

[SeidoN]

Hockeydb list him as 5'9 170

the camera adds ten pounds? something something

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

One must have weighed him in his hockey pads for that kind of discrepancy, lol.

 

[Khione]

A big meal and not taking a dump for a couple of days?

 

[JRZ DVLS]

Like that he has good hands with the speed and can stick handle through or around players. Also like that he can carry the puck into the zone... Something we have had trouble with.
Kid better keep his head up tho.....

I was going to say the same thing. Ugh. That happened. That really happened.

 

[Classic Devil]

This is the kind of kid you should pick in round 6. Go for the home run, don't go for the single. He may be too small for the NHL, but if he is it's not like we used a 1st round pick on him. And if he's not, well then we may have just nabbed ourselves a first line winger. Good deal.

 

[SeidoN]

Not gonna lie, seeing that highlight reel gave me a woody.

A Miles Woody? Or a Blackwoody?

 

[New Jack City]

could be a wedge woody

Guys like Gaudreau, Ennis, Gionta, Gerbe, and others probe you can be really small and succeed at this level.

I doubt he pans out, but I'd rather spend a pick on him than a thug like Chatham. Guys like him and Tedenby have value just from the penalties they draw.

Between Wood, Dudek, Gavrus, and now this guy we've got plenty of boom/bust guys. Eventually one of these guys has to turn out, right?

Why you pick him. You assume that because he is playing well in college now that he has a chance to be something, on top of the obvious raw talent like his wheels and good hands from what I have seen.

Worst case...it was a 6th round pick and they very rarely turn into gems.
