The Anaheim Ducks made a surprising move by selecting Beckett Sennecke as the third overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft. Sennecke, a right wing from the OHL Oshawa Generals, was visibly shocked upon hearing his name called, even mouthing 'what the f**k?' on camera. His reaction quickly became a highlight of the draft. The selection, announced by Scott Niedermayer, was unexpected as many had projected Sennecke to go later in the draft, with some experts predicting he would be picked 10th by the Devils. Despite some boos from Ducks fans, Sennecke's stock had risen significantly in recent weeks, making him a fast-rising prospect. This was the first big surprise of the draft, and Sennecke had +320 odds to be drafted third overall.
