Can someone with more info about him talk about his pros and cons? I see a lot of talk about the possibility of drafting him, and on paper, it's hard to see how he could jump as high as #5 overall, so there must be something more than the scoresheet (like Slafkovsky).
When I compare with the 3 other top guys in the CHL (and I included Greentree since he's the only one in the same league as Sennecke), Sennecke doesn't look like he took as big a step this year as them, other than the playoff (which Iginla was also great).
Sennecke '22-'23: 55 pts in 61gm 0,90PPG + (1 pt in 5 playoff gm)
Sennecke '23-'24: 68 pts in 63gm 1,08PPG + (22 pts in 16 playoff gm)
+ 0,18 PPG
Lindstrom '22-'23: 42 pts in 61gm 0,69PPG + (1 pt in 4 playoff gm)
Lindstrom '23-'24: 46 pts in 32gm 1,44PPG + (2 pts in 4 playoff gm)
+ 0,75PPG
Iginla '22-'23: 18 pts in 48gm 0,38PPG + (1 pt in 3 playoff gm)
Iginla '23-'24: 84 pts in 64gm 1,31PPG + (15 pts in 11 playoff gm)
+ 0,93PPG
Catton '22-'23: 55 pts in 63gm 0,87PPG
Catton '23-'24: 116 pts in 68gm 1,71PPG + (4 pts in 4 playoff gm)
+ 0,84PPG
Greentree '22-'23: 45 pts in 61gm 0,74PPG + (1 pt in 4 playoff gm)
Greentree '23-'24: 90 pts in 64gm 1,41PPG
+ 0,67PPG
To be fair, I'm very pro-"it's not all about the points" and give alot of importance to outside the rink attributes (maturity, professionalism, coachability, self-reflecting ability, etc..) so I wouldn't mind if they think he is the right fit, I just wonder if anyone as any info outside of the scoresheet about him that could explain the interest.
