Prospect Info: Jake Sanderson 5th Overall

[Johnny Hanson]

Absolutely love the pick. This kid is going to be an absolute stud

 

[playasRus]

Sens have guys who play like Drysdale.

But is Sanderson or are any of our "similar style" prospects better than Drysdale.

This pandemic (or is it the absolute gong show the Sens have been over the last 3 years) has taught me to just enjoy the game and not get too emotionally attached to little hting slike who we draft or could have drafted.

 

[thinkwild]

Alright, we should be able to put together a good legacy player unit now. I was hoping for this guy, he will really solidify our back end. Build from the back end out.

 

[SENSational]

No problem at all with this pick. He's the exact type of player you need to win.

He’s a better all-around d-man and people really underrate how well he moves the puck.

 

[dumbdick]

This guy is going to be polarizing. But he's excellent all-round. I wanted Drysdale or Raymond, but this kid has a very high floor.

 

[Tuna99]

Good pick, rebuild of the D (and Center)is complete. Great day for Ottawa credit time Mann and Dorion.

Toronto doesn’t have the D to succeed, see how Seth Jones made an impact in the playoffs. cant win without a player like this. He’s our Brent Seabrooke, Alex Pieternangelo, Victor Hedman.

 

[swiftwin]

Imagine always having one of either him or Chabot on the ice for 90% of the game.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

Dorion was very giddy about Sanderson. I approve.

 

[InTkachukWeTrust]

Chucky's going to love this pick

Probably knew the Sens wanted Jake and he didn't want the fans base to trip with the pick

This has to be a joke! First Tkachuk and now this s****???

This team is f***ed. Not one f****** elite talent on this sorry roster

Well, now that Answer disapproves, we know we got a stud!

Lol, gtfo.

 

[BigRig4]

I feel like Sanderson is similar to Tkachuk in the sense his highlight package won’t blow you away but his skillset is absolutely necessary to win games and go deep in the playoffs. I’m stoked!

 

[h2]

Love this pick. We don’t have anyone like him. I really like our defence moving forward with Jake in the mix.

That's a good comparison.

The only thing I worried about with Drysdale is having 3 guys in the top 4 that need some defensive stability. Sanderson just fits what they have already much, much better.

Missile on the backend

Excited to see Sanderson crack some skulls

I don't like this answer. You draft BPA in the top 10. Wondering if he was the BPA?

 

[BondraTime]

Did I hear he was up to 6'3 and 200? He's going to be in the NHL at 215ish, kids frame is huge

One of the youngest in the draft as well.

Love this guy, said Sens had him in their sights above Drysdale near the start of this year

 

[NyQuil]

Also super psyched to be here.

 

[BondraTime]

I don't like this answer. You draft BPA in the top 10. Wondering if he was the BPA?

I'd be very, very surprised if he wasn't the 4th rated prospect by the Sens

Kk just wondering lol.

Does this mean we see this guy as our future #1 defenseman ahead of Chabot? I don't know if Chabot would even go top 4-5 in a redraft.

Chabot would be top 5 in most every draft. 2015 is one of the best of all time, and Chabot is still close to if not a top 5 pick

They see a top pair guy in him, and they should

If you’re about to post something negative, keep in mind that we will be bumping this thread in three years.

 

[pown]

Sweet. theres our next top 2 D for the next 7-10 years.
