Where's that poster that said he was slow? Well, this definitely proves your point.
@Goldenhands said Helenius was fast and he wasn’t that fast, if I’m remembering correctly.

No, there was some one on this thread earlier that claimed Catton was a slow skater. Pretty obvious he's never watched him play.

Only 3A tonight, back to back 100PT seasons.
Maybe if Seattle has an early season injury or moves a center but that's going to be hard with Stephenson, Berniers and Wright down the middle for them right now and going into next season.
Not sure if they are going to play him 4th line MPG with 4th liners although he might be too good for junior sure.
He might be one of those legitimate guys who should go to the AHL as I think he could survive and develop there but the rules say he can't.

Physically weak players especially are less likely to start at center. I'd expect Catton to start on the wing and it might be a few years before they start trying to establish him at center.
Next year is going to be tricky. Catton needs to get up to NHL strength, but he's not close. And he's too good for junior. I think it makes sense to play him a partial NHL schedule with a lot of extra time for the gym, and an AHL conditioning stint mixed in before the next WJC.
