There might not be a more raw prospect at the sharp end of the draft class than Sennecke, and that’s...
After surprising everyone by taking Leo Carlsson in Nashville last year, GM Pat Verbeek made a big splash by announcing Beckett Sennecke as the third overall pick at the Sphere on Friday night. Anaheim had the swing pick with the ability to shake things up, in a draft dominated by high-end defensemen, the Ducks decided to take a chance on Beckett Sennecke – one of the biggest risers on draft boards this year.
Sennecke was listed as 5-foot-10 when Oshawa took him in the first round of the 2022 OHL Draft, and he struggled to hold his own physically. The offense was always there – he was a powerhouse on a Toronto Marlboros squad that also featured top 2024 prospect Sam Dickinson. Nobody was even in the ballpark of Sennecke’s offensive skills, but scouts were worried about his lack of physicality.
“He’s got tremendous hands, quick and effective,” a scout said. “And then you get the size, the speed and the hockey IQ and he’s a really rounded threat.”
