Here's a good snapshot into his offensive skills. Actually, one-on-one, reminds me of Catton. Same kind of elusiveness, and how he exploits defenses. But Catton is definitely faster and a superior passer. But Sennecke is huge. Bit of an awkward skater still. But to be expected considering his insane growth spurt during the season. Intriguing prospect.

Suzuki shoots right.
Caufield shoots right.
Dach shoots right.

Senneke also shoots right.

Lindstrom shoots left.
 
Can’t have every prospect unfortunately….as Gorton acknowledged this is a big summer - a wrong turn / decision will be hard to overcome
Yup , 1-2 years away from assessing next steps of the rebuild

Most of our trash is gone after this year
 
back injuries and broken wrist
I don't like either of those injuries. Wrist injuries can affect your ability to stickhandle and shoot, which could cause a drop in offensive productivity. And back injuries tend to be chronic and potentially career-limiting. See: Yvan Cournoyer and Mike Bossy.

Hugo is thorough as fuck , every angle is covered

Due diligence will be done , all things being equal they will take a forward

If Demidov and Lindstrom are both gone , it gets interesting

The ones in red all managed to play for us.

And how can you not say that Kessel is elite? He won 3 Cups. He just needed to get away from the shit-show in Toronto.

I'm sure that we will not be able to avoid a Hobson's choice when our turn comes up. Even the year we drafted first we had a choice of 3 potential #1's. We never seem to have a clear-cut choice.
 
Lindstrom has 4 years to figure it out and middle 6 ceiling energy, but big.

I wouldnt take him over Demidov or any of the sudly looking D
