Unfairly labelled as a bust, Zach Senyshyn is routinely mentioned by Boston Bruins fans in the same sentence as other guys that should’ve been taken with the 15th overall pick of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.
We’ve all heard it; Matthew Barzal, Thomas Chabot and Brock Boeser all were picked later in that same first round and were on the table for the Boston Bruins to grab but instead they picked Zach Senyshyn, who thus far has seen just 6 NHL games.
By comparison, Thomas Chabot is playing 26:16 average ice-time for the Ottawa Senators this season, Brock Boeser already has two 50-point seasons and is closing in on a third and Matthew Barzal is already a two-time NHL All-Star selection.
