Report: Ducks Like Sennecke and Yakemchuk
On “The Sick Podcast-Recrutes Draftcast,” former NHL scout and founder of recrutes.ca, Grant McCagg, stated the Ducks like Beckett Sennecke and Carter Yakemchuk in the 2024 NHL Draft.
The 2024 NHL Entry Draft is just around the corner. The scouting combine wrapped on June 8, and reports have been surfacing around the NHL since.
The latest from Grant McCagg of recrutes.ca was that the Anaheim Ducks “like” forward Beckett Sennecke and Carter Yakemchuk and may use the third overall pick to select one of them, as stated on “The Sick Podcast-Recrutes Draftcast.” McCagg is a former NHL scout and founder of recrutes.ca.
“The two guys I heard they (the Anaheim Ducks) like are Sennecke and Yakemchuk,” McCagg stated on his recent “Sick Podcast-Recrutes Draftcast.”
The number one selection is a formality at this point. The San Jose Sharks won the draft lottery on May 7. They will likely select Macklin Celebrini, Boston University’s star forward and Hobey Baker winner who has been earmarked for the top selection in the 2024 NHL Draft for as long as one can remember.
Recent rumblings indicate the Chicago Blackhawks are leaning toward selecting Michigan State right-shot defenseman, Artyom Levshunov. “As of today, I think they’d (the Blackhawks) select Levshunov,”
The Anaehim Ducks hold the third overall selection in the 2024 NHL Draft and could seemingly go in several directions with the pick. They don’t have any pressing need within their organization’s pipeline of prospects and there seems to be a clear lack of consensus among media, scouts, organizations, etc. over who the next best players in the draft are after Celebrini.
