Video

He reminds me so much of Cody Ceci for some reason. Better player likely but not someone I would even consider taking top 15 considernig the other players available.

Thanks for the work you do on these videos. They are some of the best out there in terms of how the commentary and video support each other. Good insights and comparison’s to other prospects.

If he’s available at 7 the sens should take him. Reminds of giroux, undersized with very high iq and play making ability. Learning from someone like giroux would be a best case scenario for him.

To me… He is a Lane Hutson 2.0 but at 6’0 tall rather than 5’10. If that guy can get stronger in his lower body and therefore become more explosive in his acceleration… My gosh… sky is the limit for him. He is soooo smart. Great compete too. With just a bit mire acceleration & explosiveness in his skating, he’ll be a STAR

Whenever I watch him play, I feel like he is Soooo soft or non-chalant. Like… you know for a a fact he has that strength & power in him. But it’s like he’s just lazy & doesn’t Feel like putting on the jets. Very frustrating player to watch. And Add to that : the fact that his hockey IQ is probably not the best (for me, decision making is intimately linked with Hockey IQ)

Superbe vidéo Simon, je trouve vraiment que tu fais des vidéos de top top qualité. Tes vidéos sont longues et détaillées, il y une abondance de clips pour valider les points que tu soulève dans ton évaluation. Y a-t-il une façon qu'on peut te supporter en attendant que tu te fasse engager par un club?

Anton Silayev?

Incredible report and thanks for including so many great highlights, feel like I know the player better now

Looks like Trevor Connelly but slower and more multifaceted.

Il me fait penser à Kirby Dach

Thank you for your breakdowns man

I heard a scout saying one of the most important aspect of a player for him for evaluation is the player’s progression through the year, and Sennecka had a significant progression this year. Look at these plays, I looked at other reports, he has good size, he is awesome. He has things to improve of course but I like him. If the Canadiens draft him with their 5th pick, it would be ok for me, they are the "expert", they know better than me.

Kid reminds me of Jason Spezza, especially the way he handles himself in traffic. Wonder if he can play center?? Excellent breakdown btw. I’ve watched several of your reports and gotta say…you’re really good at this stuff. Keep ‘em coming!

Who's better Sennecke or Greentree?

Corey Perry if pans out.

I’d be fine with Habs taking this player if Demidov and Lindstrom are off the board at 5

I'm onboard at 12-20, but at 5-10 - which is where he has vaulted up to lately - I'm really not comfortable making that choice.

montreal pick him with their 27 th overall pick

hes got a little of McDavid in him

Good analysis. Levshunov has all the basic tools but misses the flashes. He's effective in the MSU system but I'm not sure if he will in the NHL. That entire team plays a simple style and succeeds that way. Not many teams in the NHL are like that.

i imagine a team takes him very high with the bet/belief that they can get his effort/commitment to be more consistent. honestly feels like something chicago would either 100% believe they can fix, or 100% rule him out for

Very honest review of Levshunov’s game that I have not yet seen anywhere else. Love watching your videos to see a unique perspective. I share some of the same opinions of Levshunov’s game as he does not yet possess dynamic puck skills and relies on activation and funneling to generate offense, which he is very good at. I believe that he still has #1D potential if he improves on the relatively fixable concerns that you have highlighted. However I see his more likely projection as a higher end #2-4D on a good team who can be more effective with a parter who is able to do more of the heavy lifting at times. As a Hawks fan he does remind me a lot of Seth Jones stylistically.

I've been worried about the pace of play and skating effort from Levshunov a lot when watching reports over the last couple weeks, but you are the first person I've seen highlight when it's a detriment of his, awesome job, thank you!

He seems destined to go #3. Not good enough that Chicago has to pick him. But good enough that there is no reason for Anaheim to go with someone else since RD is their greatest need. He has such great tools and considering how little time he has spent playing at a high level, I think teams are very hopeful about his chances of rounding out his game and become close to a complete player. I guess Chicago could pick him as well if they plan on tanking another year and are eyeing Hagens, Martone, Misa, Frondell or someone like that next year, because defensemen tend to need more time to develop so you want to pick them early in your rebuild.

Thanks Simon

J'allais me coucher mais là j'avais besoin d'écouter ça! J'aime beaucoup son moule de joueur, en regardant des shifts by shift, c'est facile de voir les choses qu'il fait bien et les choses qu'il essaie de forcer. Je pense qu'il y a clairement place à l'amélioration s'il trouve ce qu'il peut faire et si il simplifie son jeu. Jpense qu'il est important de penser que c'est sa première année à ce niveau et il s'est quand même bien adapter. Je me pose la question par exemple, serait-il projeter de la même façon s'il était gaucher? Le vois-tu tomber top 3? Et au niveau des D dispos, tu le rank où? Super vid encore!

Great video. I hadn't realized how good Yakemchuk's passing was for the most part, which is actually rather promising IMO for how he will turn out. With that said, one person I know said that they have concerns about Yakemchuk's ability to make retrievals in corners when he's under heavy forecheck pressure, and that they weren't sure if Yakemchuk could do it well enough to be a top pairing defenseman. Do you agree that there's a concern there? Also super looking forward to the Levshunov video

Nobody else is making content like this. You are very appreciated.

Is he your top D in this draft?

Super bonne vidéo! Début d'année je l'aimais pas du tout, après ta vidéo et des shift by shift j'aime beaucoup son jeu, sauf pour les dekes en entrant la Ozone.

Ton anglais s'améliore big, good job! Continue ça!

🔥🔥🔥

You did well with the English brother. Lâche pas!

Pray blackhawks take him

Thank you for putting this together, I'm excited to watch him and for what he can bring to the Sharks!

He's gonna be a Shark

I feel like there’s similarities to Adam Fox. He’s not the biggest or fastest but he’s incredibly smart.

Simon, your videos are getting better and better with every new release, keep improving and great work, thanks.

Peux tu faire Beckett Sennecke svp

Welcome to Montreal 🔵⚪️🔴

I'd love him in Montreal if Lindstrom is not on the board anymore

Great video, and love getting information on somebody whose name I've heard more lately but didn't know much about. Just to ask a few questions about Marques' skating, his stride looked very powerful, but based on your comment about him not being agile when pressured, I guess his 4 way mobility isn't very good? That's not as important for forwards as it is for defenseman, but still would have been a nice boost for a guy whose skating is one of his major assets. And final question, was there any examples of players applying the body while he's at speed in this video? I don't recall any, but I'm very curious on if he's able to keep his feet moving when in contact or not.

Finally got around to watching this. Interesting video (And not just saying that because it validates my own opinion on him). The point you made about his dynamic plays not shifting the defensive team's structure was a really good one I hadn't picked up on. I know you said that you view him as a #4 defenseman thanks to his weak physical play when contact is involved, is this not something that you think will get fixed as he gets older and can bulk up, or are you not going to consider this for prospects considering how uncertain physical development can be? Like the video though, and are you going to/when will you make a Levshunov or Dickinson video? Those are two defenseman that seem very interesting to me, and Dickinson in particular seems to have fallen for what I can only say seems like no real fault of his own.

Great videos.

i really dont feel this guy

pls habs draft him and put him with dach

Side note: Do you incorporate any video-derived kinesiology analysis in your S&C practice? I am intending on developing a studio that uses motion-capture data with AI to create predictive data sets for athletic development.

Top 5 physical 6'6" player who prefers to dictate pace? That's a mature player. Your points/counterpoints are so good Simon. Seriously one of the best evaluators to the public, and this is one of my favorite videos so far. Thank you so much!

Simon your analysis is the only one I trust at the moment. Thank you for the insight. The only issue I have for future videos is the sound clips levels are all over the place and often much louder than your audio track. Please leave them out entirely as it interrupts your flow and blows out my speakers. Otherwise everything is fine enough presentation wise. Also more RHCP please if you could hahaha.

Yeah great video for sure
