Think they were referring to the size/speed/skill package- not size alone. But it looks like he is still listed at his draft height and weight..How are people suddenly now referring to him as a ‘bigger body’ and one of the last posts in the locked thread referred to his ‘unbelievable size’....he weighs the same as anders Bjork. Ya he’s 6’2 so he’s tall but calling him a big body and using josh Anderson as sort of a comp is highly inaccurate.

It appears you didn't take the time to read the article which I shared in my post. So, let me add the pertinent quote below.
"Seny was starting to score, was getting to the dirty areas and they were a heavy forechecking line," Leach offered. "He was finding an identity. I think we all would somewhat speculate that was his identity: Being a big guy that could get to places quick and get to the front of the net."
~Jay Leach, Head Coach
Look, it doesn't matter what Leach says. He is a shill for Sweeney trying to save face after the awful selection that Seny was. Seny will never play in the NHL as a regular and in two seasons he will be over in France with his buddy Zach Hamill.
I am pretty sure Jay Leach's job is to develop whatever talent comes his way. If Leach is such a shill why was Providence top of class last year and why has he forced Senyshyn to earn his minutes the hard way? If he was a shill, he would have "gifted" Senyshyn top line reps and PP time. Apparently, that's not what he needed to succeed at the NHL level. Also, do you really think Sweeney cares about saving face? The guy clearly doesn't care about anybody's opinion. If he did, he would have drafted a CHL kid instead of Mason Lohrie.
Trust me, it's OK to not like a pick or a prospect a GM or coach...read my OP and you will see I said myself that I wouldn't bet my mortgage on Sensyshyn sticking in the NHL, but if Sensyhyn does make it...it will be because he earned it. Not because Sweeney is worried about what you think of him.
You missed the heavy sarcasm. Clear fail on my part.

An OHL player who played 3 years in Providence AND just 3 years in the OHL.
I took a quick look and I couldn't come up with any names. I couple candidates I ruled out as they had 4 OHL seasons. You got me stumped.

I was going to guess Jared Knight, but he doesn't even have enough points in Providence, unless you typoed Player A.
Serious question: I don't know anything about his mentality, but is there a possibility that his development was hampered by his draft slot and the criticism of picking him over other more established players?
Like, the second that pick was announced it was universally panned and hated. I'm sure Senyshyn isn't dumb, he isn't living in a bubble, he's probably read a lot the chatter online. I wonder if his confidence was totally shot as a result of that and that has had a tangible effect on his development arc. Like going into his first season with the weight of having to exceed all expectations and frustrated at not having the physical tools to reach that high bar, or just feeling defeated that no matter what he does, he can't match what Barzal did and will never be accepted by the fanbase, so he hasn't taken that leap to the next level. You have to wonder if he got drafted by Arizona at 30 overall, he might already have arrived and would be thriving in a third line role.
You failed in more than one way, because your attempt at sarcasm is just simply truth.Look, it doesn't matter what Leach says. He is a shill for Sweeney trying to save face after the awful selection that Seny was.

I mean I have my own eyeballs so I’m not really sure what this is proving. He is factually not a big body irregardless of what his coach may be saying in the media for a myriad of different reasons. Would you call Brett Connolly a big body? They are the exact same size and I call him slender.It appears you didn't take the time to read the article which I shared in my post.

Might want to look again - to me he looked significantly bigger on the ice this last year than he had in the past. Maybe just the maturation in his game and being more solid on his skates (looking to play through guys rather than around them). Didn’t get to Providence this year though...I mean I have my own eyeballs so I’m not really sure what this is proving.
