Description
Ideal draft for MTL, assuming we drop 1 spot, and Demidov goes where he is supposed to


This would project our future lineup to be

Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky
Eiserman-Dach-Sennecke
Newhook-Beck-Roy

4Logo of the Anaheim Ducks-
5Logo of the Columbus Blue Jackets-
6Logo of the Montreal Canadiens-MTL takes Sennecke here, who has some of the best tools in the entire draft. He had a bad start to the season, but we can’t forget he had to adjust to a 5 in grow spurt, so the fact that it didn’t even take him the entire season to adjust is already a solid sign. MTL gets a chance to get a player similar to Boldy, and will be a great fit in our top 6, with definite top line potential

15Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-I do see Eiserman dropping quite a bit in this draft, and with having Dach and Sennecke, Eiserman could actually work in MTL. He will definitely not work without playmakers, so giving him 2 play makers will maximize his capabilities, and it will give Sennecke and Dach someone that will finish their plays very well. MTL trade up to 15 here

I think youre too high on Beckett Sennecke.

Could without a doubt get him in the 12-18 range, just trade up with other picks atp

Tbh I’m starting to think that Sennecke should go between the 8-12range, although he has a really high ceiling it’s hard to pass up on Catton or Parekh. I do think if Montreal stays at 5 they could still get either Demidov or Lindstrom tho

Seems like there was a bug in the lottery function for this draft. If a team below 11th wins the first lottery the Sharks don't make sense to be in the 2nd lottery. In this case you'd have teams 2-13 minus Philly figuring out if they're picking 3rd, Pittsburgh figuring out if they're picking 4th and deferring the traded pick to 2025, Detroit hoping to pick 5th, and St Louis hoping to pick 6th.

Idk, Sennecke has some of the best tools in the entire draft. Insane hands, very good IQ, and great skating. Once he grows into his body, he should be even better.

I am high on him, but at this point, there is no way he falls out of the top 10, so might as well take him. Let’s be real here, if he had even just 80 pts this year, he’d be a consistent top 5 pick. We can’t forget that he grew 4-5 inches in a ridiculously short amount of time, and that 100% affects players. Sennecke’s 2nd half of the season is very solid, and probably has the best playoff race amongst the entire draft class.

Parekh has massive defensive flaws, so he’s definitely not a must draft guy, especially in MTL’s case, where they have a bunch of defenders

As for Catton, you’re getting a point generator, but maybe not very impactful for the amount of points he gets. I’m severely seeing him a bit like Marner, where the regular season points will be great, but he will be a very bad playoff guy.
Sennecke might get a couple less points (maybe in the 80 pt range instead of the 90), but this guy will take your team to a cup.

I hear that if Montreal really wants Sennecke, they will likely gonna make a trade with the Jets pick to go in the 12-18th overall range instead of drafting him in the top 8.

That's great and all, but it's hard to trade up at 12th OA for a guy who isn't on the board. I don't really see a way Sennecke doesn't go top 10

Yeah fair, this draft is such a weird one cause from like 2-15 any of those players can go anywhere, one of the more interesting drafts, lots of potential for star talent, also lots of question marks

Definitely the most boom-or-bust draft in a while. If most of the guys pan out, it's gonna be seen as an elite draft, but they also might not, and then it may be seen as a mid or even bad draft. But in terms of prospects, its one of the deepest we've seen, arguably more than last years...

Overall, I usually have them get MBN or even Eiserman, but imo, NJ should definitely take a LD if one of the elite ones fall (Dickinson, Silayev, Buium)

What is a solid player comp for Sennecke?

Also another guy that is not getting enough attention is Teddy Stiga. 11th on my board, could jump to top 10 after the u18s. He has all the necessary tools, best defensive forward in the draft and second best skater in the draft. The best skater in the draft is Connelly.

Connelly
Chernyshov
Greentree
Sennecke

I agree with Stiga, he's very good. I personally have him 16, but if he goes higher it's deserved.

As for a comp for Sennecke, I've seen Boldy, which I would agree with. IMO, Boldy is the 2nd best player from the 2019 draft, so definitely a solid comp

I definitely don't think so. It's a nice bonus to be 6"3, but when you have the tool-set Sennecke has, it's an obvious reason why he should be going crazy high
