Chalk that up to a learning experience. If he can't handle that he's going to have a difficult adjustment to NHL play.Pretty much this. I can see it now, in his first game he will make a mistake in the defensive zone, gets benched.

Questions about
Play away from puck
200 foot game
Using line mates
Based on what I've read, seen, or heard
Projects
High end- top 6 goal scoring
Low end - Matt Fraser with elite skating which probably means he still has an NHL career
Biggest concern is play away from puck. Will it inhibit his offensive strength
All this does not bode well for him being here long term, no?
No idea just putting together a bunch of sensory info from here there and everywhere
I like the way he motors
If you can skate if you can shoot if you good a good head on your shoulders and take to coaching
Detroit and Toronto were coming up into late teens to get him
Sweeney wasn't that off the wall with the pick - he was trying to actually move back until the Bruins found out what was going on and went max 4 picks earlier than he would have
where is this info coming from?

The media asks what the plan is?
It's scoring wingers like Sensyshyn, Vatrano, DeBrusk, Pastrnak to join Marchand and hopefully Vesey; add in Heinen, Gabrielle and others and it's kinda a pretty impressive group
Gabrielle and DeBrusk and Sensyshyn all scored 40+ goals in a season in the CHL.
Marchand scored 37 and Pasta should be at 30 regularly before his 25th birthday
It's like we only have Andy Hilbert and Cameron Mann here
ZS is getting way over analyzed
I asked what his weakness was and it was nothing that coaching can't fix
Great pick
Don't they usually wait 'til after the draft to assemble a D.C. list?Time will tell. Do you (or anyone) know if he's attending the development camp this year? I assume he is, but has the attendees list been confirmed yet?
On almost every report I've read on Senyshyn, it's says he's physical. Is this true? I haven't watched him play this year, other then the few highlight reel goals he's had on youtube.

Where have you been? This info has been around since the day ( or day after ) of that draft.
It's been around here. But it hasn't been reported officially anywhere. It's all propaganda to make the pick look like less of a reach. No idea why anyone in the leafs or red wings would let it be known they'd have traded up for him. And even if there was a member of the leafs or wings on the inside willing to go off the record and give that information. He can't work for both teams. So now there are 2 moles inside 2 separate organizations who are both feeding information to hockey future posters off the record but won't give that information to you know, reporters. It doesn't add up, but I'm just a skeptic who doesn't believe a bunch of smoke equals fire. Especially if the smoke is anonymous and can't be seen by anyone.
Wow, I never realized Don Sweeney was so nefarious.
I didn't say anything about sweeney. I think he couldn't care less what people think about his draft. He seems like a guy who does what he wants and doesn't care what anyone thinks, he just does whatever he thinks is the right move (for better or worse)
So who's in charge of the Propaganda Department? Is that Neely's job? Maybe I should send a resume. Sounds like a cool job.
Barring a catastrophe, I should be back from my cross county adventure by devcamp if you want a tag along again!Yes, that's when it's announced. I'm looking forward to watching Senyshyn and comparing him to last year.
Sweeney loyalists command no salary
