I too find the skipping of Barzal and Connor confounding but Senyshyn is an easy argument to make for player going really high. Ticks a lot of high end skill boxes and has good size.
And it just goes to show that the concensus lists that fly around pre draft really have no bearing on individual teams' scouting.
Them getting Carlo in the 2nd was huge. Boston went real heavy on RH type players with Senyshyn, Carlo and Jakub Forsbaka-Karlsson.
Outside of 13-15 they really did a great job stockpiling players. And plenty of folks were keen on Zboril too. Only player I still scratch my head at after some time has passed was them taking DeBrusk.
