2024 NHL Draft

Beckett Sennecke Drafted By Anaheim Ducks At No. 3 | NHL Draft Analysis

Beckett Sennecke Drafted By Anaheim Ducks At No. 3 | NHL Draft Analysis

Beckett Sennecke was taken No. 3 by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2024 NHL Draft. Here's why.

Perhaps the biggest late-season riser in the draft, Beckett Sennecke’s rise is well earned thanks to his impressive second half and even more impressive postseason with Oshawa. It unfortunately ended early due to injury, but Sennecke has truly established himself as part of the upper tier of forwards in this draft. 

He had a growth spurt to 6-foot-2 and maintained a level of skill and skating ability from when he was a smaller player that keeps him particularly dangerous offensively. He plays aggressive enough off the puck and is an exciting player with it. He’s going to continue building a power game on top of his high-skill game, which will only make him a trickier player to defend. Sennecke’s game is trending very favorably to become a top-six scorer at the next level, especially with his high-end puck skills.

Why The Anaheim Ducks Drafted Beckett Sennecke At No. 3 

The first big surprise of the draft sees Beckett Sennecke, the No. 11 prospect from FloHockey's list jump up to No. 3. 

There were a lot of teams that moved Sennecke way up on their boards, but I wasn't sure we would see him go this high. But make no mistake, this is the range of the draft where the separation isn't as great. Sennecke is still growing and played his best hockey in the playoffs for Oshawa. He's going to need some time, but Anaheim also has the prospect pool quality where he doesn't have to come in for a year or two. He's grown almost four inches in the last two years and as he fills out, he could be a power forward with elite-level hand skills. 

That's a very intriguing prospect for any team.

What Time Does The NHL Draft Start?

The first round is at 7 p.m. Friday, June 28. The rest of the draft resumes at 11:30 a.m. on June 29.
