I cover the Anaheim Ducks🦆| The Hockey News team site Editor/Writer/Reporter
I'll push back a little there, especially with a lot of current Euro superstars. Every player is different, and guys develop at different rates

Pastrnak, Kucherov, Barkov, and Draisaitl didn't exactly fill scoresheets regularly in their first 100-150 games in the NHL

Me too. I would assume Sennecke, even if it wouldn't be my preference

Thank you to all who voted! I'd like to do more of these in the future, probably during the Olympic break

I don't think his appearance there is an indication one way or the other. It's basically a glorified photoshoot. However, I would guess he'll at least start the season in the NHL, and the team will reassess after nine games

Those guys are extremely hard to get and are rarely available. You gotta either draft them or part with a ton of assets when they finally are available. The hope is they already have at least one

If you had to choose a position of need, what are you thinking based on what they already have?

I think I’m in a similar boat. We’ll talk to him more about it, I’m sure, but it seems like he put a good amount of effort into personal growth
