Posting paid premium info is not cool.

You seem like a lot of fun to hang out with...

The point of the comparison was clear as day to me, and still seems to escape you even after explanation. Weird.

You can believe in wrong comparisons and still not see clear explanation why it was wrong.

Its not weird for me.

For a site which is easy to hit the ban/blacklist button on users, it seems like a fairly common sense policy.

Anyone getting the sense this guy might be the one to fall considerably, like this year's Caufield or Benson? I don't hear his name brought up for the Habs, Jackets... really anyone in the top 10 that could go forward

Yes, I smashed the O9.5 on draft kings and now he is a -200 favorite to get drafted after pick 9. The only way he gets picked in the top 10 is if pick 7 or 8 grab him for whoever ends up drafting there. Very likely he goes in the 10-14 range like Benson. I doubt he makes his way to the later teens

interesting if some teams in like 12-16 like D and he continues to slip. I think if Seattle doesn't take him he probably falls from the top 10 entirely

If so, someone is going to get themselves a beauty.

That's kind of what I mean, like Caufield and Benson I feel like he's going to be gift wrapped to a decent team just due to size

 

[stl76]

I’m hoping he might fall to the Blues at 16…would be a steal and a half haha

 

[WeThreeKings]

Most likely going to go to Philadelphia or around that range.. will be a damn shame, he's such a great prospect.

 

[Kraken Jokes]

If Iginla is off the board, I can see Calgary being very interested. They need centres, they need skill, he's a western Canada kid, etc.

That’s Minnesota Wild forward Berkly Catton to you

 

[Hockeyville USA]

I would likely take him if I were Seattle, but they'll probably go with a defenseman like Buium or Dickinson.

The kid is 5’11…. Reading this thread you’d think he’s 5’5

5'10. 5'10.25 to be exact at the combine.

That one inch difference cuts the number of successful NHL comparables nearly in half.

 

[Double Dion]

This is who I want the Flames to draft at 9 if he's there. Iginla is a fine prospect, but Catton is going to be a 70 to 80 point center.

 

[JRichard]

Isnt Caufield an untouchable first-line scorer 5’8?

I sincerely doubt Catton is a center at the NHL level.

 

[Double Dion]

I sincerely doubt Catton is a center at the NHL level.

I seriously think you're wrong. He's gritty, has a 2 way game and is sound positionally.

Catton is bigger than Michkov the generational Russian so size should not be an issue during the regular season.

well if that’s the case I guess there’s no point in drafting him

I thought Catton himself said he thought he was more of a wing in the NHL.

C’mon man, you know how much self-esteem is at risk if you suggest the player understands more about their situation than a bunch random people on the internet.

 

[majormajor]

I don't think that's the case personally.

I'd still be very eager to get Catton. But I think he's going to have to be more of a perimeter guy in the pros. I see him more like a Johnny Gaudreau or Clayton Keller.

I think he can be an All-Star player who puts up big points. I expect teams to deprioritize that player type though, that's why he won't go in the top 6 or 7 picks.

 

[Double Dion]

No he didn't. He outright said at the combine he thinks he can play C in the NHL. He's a very good 2 way player and strong positionally. Everything except the size screams center.
