Funny enough that's how I feel about Catton. Skinny boy that puts up Junior stats but doesn't overwhelm in any area.
Guess we'll see a few years down the line.

Per the words of Grant Mckegg, "This drafts top 15 is shaping up to be one of the best of all time"
To be a little more specific, he mentions the amazing dynamism of Demidov offensively. He covets Lindstrom and Silayev in his ranks already. He mentions Yakemchuks size combined with his elite offensive abilities. He's a huge fan of Tij Iginla and thinks he could be a top line winger. He mentioned Helenius is a #1 center in Liiga already. Cole Eisermans goal scoring prowess.
Tons of talent in that top 15 group

McKegg is a hack. Dude literally said Celebrini was a better prospect coming out than Bedard. I take what he says with a high grain of salt and this is coming from someone who agrees with him on Yakemchuk.

On demidov 5 goal game, “best junior performance I’ve ever seen”

I look at his pre-draft player takes seriously. I agree with 2/3 of them. He was really high on Gulyayev, Dvorsky, Leonard, But, and Fantilli (way more than most) last year. He still had Bedard #1 OA, so that means he was even a bigger fan. He does make some odd claims for Habs prospects being more than they are, but thats homerism.

I have to agree. His play is very inconsistent. I still prefer Dickinson, Yakemchuk and Silayev over him.
Zaybe Parekh was not in the Saginaw lineup last night and tonight ...not due to injury..but serving a 2 game suspension...
Macklin Celebrini scored a goal late in 3rd poeriod tomight in BU's 2nd game of a back to back set of losses to Boston College..
So he got only 1g 0a and was -3 for these 2 games...BUT he generated 12 shots on goal in these 2 games ...In the game tonight he had I think I saw 20 shots attempted but only 7 were on goal ..Tonight was 12/15 on draws ...I cannot remeber if he was one of the 3 BU shooters who hit the post in the Friday night game..
So I think his play was very good in hese games even if his scoring output and+/- did not reflect that...

Macklin played great tonight. I watched most of that game. All over it. Parekh is suspended for spitting. 2 games. Little shit.

You don’t trade picks this early into a rebuild unless you want to be the 2018 -2020 senators

making up scenarios in your head to be mad about
Hawks trading out of Bedard to pick Moore at #5 is so obscenely dumb not even Peter Chiarelli would do that move lol

This year's top 5 is pretty special in a variety of ways, the Hawks will be in good shape:
Celebrini
Levshunov
Silayev
Lindstrom
Demidov
I would take any of those guys. Silayev is going to be a stud, but it seems like the Hawks are pretty full on the left side?
For the TB Pick:
Connelly
Yakemchuk
Iginla
Boisvert
Celebrini
Levshunov
Silayev
Lindstrom
Demidov

Silayev has played about as much on the right as the left this year. Still prefer a right shot on the right side, but he's supposedly been really solid on his offside.

Silayev has been like 70% RD 30% LD and looks better playing his offside.
How much offensive upside does he have? He has like 1 assist in his last 20 games (albeit playing a pretty low number of minutes).

Pronounced T-Lay
Up for debate with people. He's got good hands and a good wrister from the point. He can skate and does jump into the play as the 4th guy but its not like dynamic offensively. KHL as a defender at 17 pretty hard to truly know the upside offensively though.
He could be Hedman or he could be Oleksiak.

Like Greentree.Celebrini/Lindstrom plus Greentree would start to fill out our forwards and give Bedard some help.Good size as well.

I agree with this. The fact that he is playing D in the KHL at age 17 is pretty amazing. Playing his offside that much at that high of a level is impressive. As far as offense goes, it would be tough to judge. If he were playing in the CHL or USHL his point totals would be much different. Either way the guy is a specimen.
I like Greentree, he is a nice well-rounded player. He can skate, good hands and like the size element.

I really like Iginla in the teens if he's there. Yakemchuk too but I don't think he'll be there.
