Catton is Jack Hughes size I think when I watch him.
Either way he'd transform our PP and bring a clutch factor we could use.
How does he compare to a player like Zach Benson?
Compete level too, tbf. They don't play the same game but yes, tools-wise, Catton is ahead.The only thing Benson has on Catton is the matured defensive game.
Catton is leagues better of a skater, a passer and is a better shooter.
He’s already in the right colours
Season ending injury for Adam Jiricek.

Slightly worse overall. A bit faster skater and a bit of a better 20+ foot out shooter. The rest is heavily on Bensons side, he's just a much smarter player. Benson underrated tho.How does he compare to a player like Zach Benson?
He's not gonna fall to the 20s?If we can snatch a good forward with our 1st, and can add a second, 20something-first, I’d be all-in on him if the injury can make this guy fall a bit. His brother was my wish in ‘22.
Someone has to be. If it's not Catton it's gonna be someone else.Doubt Catton is available past top 5 with his performance. Maybe we win 1st or 2nd overall? That would be franchise altering.
As of right now, we pick 7th ov.
Hard to say, scoring is up in all leagues pretty much. The OHL too.Anyone who watches the WHL quite frequently for years, why are players not exploding offensively when before it was such a defensive league?
Overall yeah, but Catton is a much, much better skater and shooter than benson. I wouldn't say the rest is "heavily" on Benson's side.Slightly worse overall.

I would be ecstatic with any of Catton, Demidov, Eiserman.Someone has to be. If it's not Catton it's gonna be someone else.

I think big D like Dickinson, Silayev will go early too.
More than 95% of the time, at least one defenseman go top 5. 2024 will be no exception.
Probably not, he seems to be ranked from 8 to 14 from what I’ve seen…but he’s not gonna play a single game from here to the draft… when you have just 1 first rounder you might wanna go safer route with the plethora of good dman available, it’s not out of this world to think that he may fall a bit. Might be wishful thinking.He's not gonna fall to the 20s?
Lindstrom.Who would you guys pick at number 2 if ever the Habs end up picking there? Do you go Eiserman? Or do you have any other favourites?
Lindstrom or Demidov at 2 for meWho would you guys pick at number 2 if ever the Habs end up picking there? Do you go Eiserman? Or do you have any other favourites?
