More and more, I want Senyshyn to become a contributing middle 6 guy, just to shut up the people who continually point to that draft as a bust.
That's only because he is a bust
With his speed and size if he develops a physical game and 200 foot game which seems to be the plan he may turn into the Paille comparison many are using. This doesnt make him a Daigle or Hamill level bust but as a 15th pick, with the players chosen after him, it makes him a very poor first round selection who will always be compared to those taken after him.
Sweeney screwed up with this pick, plain and simple, I dont believe the propaganda spewed by Bruins management that he was "getting taken right after we took him". Unless the scouts from those other mystery teams come up to me and say so I won't buy it, and if they did I'm betting the next words would be " glad we didn't have the chance to take him".
Being a 15th overall pick in a very good to great draft class, being taken well ahead of your projected spot and being over hyped may not be fair to a player who has done what has been asked of him, not complained and is doing everything right off the ice so far but it is what it is.
Unless Senyshyn becomes a top 6,20 plus goal forward he will always be looked at as a disappointment. I'm still not sure if he even becomes fourth line forward with Kuraly and Wagner, though that line would have great speed and size but I'm not sure if any if them could finish the turnovers they would create.
