Seriously. It's like Catton being a dog with the puck being his bone is a bad thing?
Total non-factor off the puck.
Like think about the composition of this roster.
You want Demidov and Catton.
Bedard and Demidov don't mesh as linemates.
So now you've got Bedard on line 1, and Demidov on line 2.
Catton is a puck carrier. When he's not carrying the puck he's worthless. So he has to be the guy. But he's never going to be the guy on a line with Bedard, nor a line with Demidov. Now he's stuck on your 3rd line.
Now you still have blank spaces you need to fill in the top 6, but you blew you high end picks on guys that can't play together. But the team produces enough that they're a fringe playoff team, so you're only ever drafting mid 1st round every year so you can't actually draft top 6 talent to fill those holes. You're stuck in a spiral of mediocrity. The rebuild is a failure. Congrats, you're now the Maple Leafs.
The end.
