Prospect Info: Berkly Catton - Forward(Round 1, Pick #8, 2024 Draft)

[The Marquis]

Looks like he is back to his normal ways. 8 points in his last 3 games. Up to 15 points in 9 games.

Ridiculous production.

 

[Scomerica]

Is it fair to say he's our highest ceiling prospect?

I feel like that's probably the case. Of our current prospects, he and Nyman have to be the top two upside.

Comfortably.

Nyman, really? I would have thought Rehkopf was way ahead of him on upside.

I'll be honest, I don't know much about Rehkopf's upside, but you're most likely right and I don't really know how I missed that.

Isn't Jagger Firkus in the mix. His size is a potential impediment, but his ceiling, if all went well, has to be way up there, too.

It would be great if Jagger put on twenty pounds of muscle, but sometimes you can't always get what you want, but you get what you need.

I saw the first Coachella game and have seen highlights of games since then. Firkus has looked good to me. Yes, size is a factor but he has been able to be effective despite it. Sure, he is never going to win board battles but as long someone on his line can do that job, he can still be very productive player.

At this time, I would put Catton as our top prospect. I see Firkus and Rehkopf next, in no particular order. Sale, Goyette and Nyman would be somewhere next but I think Sale can seperate himself this season if he can keep producing like he is in Coachella (3 points in 2 games). If he can end the AHL season at a 0.5 PPG clip or higher, I would be thrilled.

1G 6A for him today in 12-2 beating of Wenatchee. Him and Cristall (just got traded to Spokane) could end up putting crazy numbers for the rest of the season. Cristall had 7 points as well with 3G 4A.

 

[Dead Coyote]

Watching Cristall and Catton together will be a treat. I think Cristall also has insane offensive potential, might even be more than Catton.

Catton had 2 goals today in a 5-1 beating of Victoria, and I genuinely think it was not the best part of his game today. His game looks pro-ready. He has elite vision, is really good with checking on both sides of the ice, and has a great shot. He is not very physical and does not go for board battles, but he is still making sure he is helpful and creating space to either receive a pass or break a pass.

Only think that keeps him away from the NHL next season is his body. He needs to get stronger and pack some muscle over the summer.

One of catton's goals.
