@@curtisault2508 Habs need talent up front, period. If you look how dry the habs offense has been since the 90s you cant really be picky about a guy being 5`11 instead of 6`0.
Can't believe this guy isn't a consensus top 5 pick. He's legit sooooo good. Has the skating, shooting, passing, IQ, and overall talent of a serious NHLer. AND he's doing it at the Centre position on an arguably meh WHL team. I bet if he was 6'1 he'd be locked at 3-4th.
Comparable players in playstyle are Cooley, Keller, Gaudreau, Jack Hughes, Kane and Point. I hope Habs pick him at #5. He'd look real good on Dach's wing in a year or 2. Also like the possibility of him developing chemistry with a guy like Roy. Catton likes putting pucks in dangerous areas and Roy his really good at pouncing on those occasions.
If you look only at skill I agree. Hes #3 on skill potential. But to be the best you need other stuff like leadership, grit and defensive play which is why he will be picked after Lindstrom Imo but hes really skilled!
Honestly I'd pick him before Demidov. Catton's game looks more NHL readymade offensively. Most of what he does would work in the NHL while Demidov as mostly dangled his way to the top 5. Catton has way better skating as well and way better at stealing pucks in a way better league. Plus Catton is bigger at 175 lbs to Demidov 168 lbs. Catton put on 12 lbs during the season, no reason he won't be around 185 lbs next camp.
For some reason his playstyle, and mostly his skating mechanics/the way he moves around reminds me of Gaudreau. He’s like Gaudreau if Gaudreau where like 4 inches taller
For the whole year i've looking at the mock drafts and I keep seeing his name stay 10 on every mock, and lately a push towards top 5, I didn't really know his game, but after watching this, the guy he has star potential written allover him, and I finally see why he's so coveted. The edge work mix with puck protection combined with high IQ and sometime he's a legit point a game player.
I am an old dude. I was there when the Québec Nordiques drafted Joe Sakic. Catton reminds me a lot of Sakic. Dangerous in any situation, he can shoot, he can pass, he can improvise... Future star to me.
He's get great mitts and exceptional hockey iq. The biggest know on him is his D zone play. He will be a good player but, i do not see him as a center in the nhl, he will more then likely be on the wing. Great video
He is the Zach Benson of 2024. Most likely will be drafter lower than he should. Team will prefer Defensemen over him, but will be a steal for the team that takes the chance.
Really, really, really hoping my Flames can grab him at 9th. Seems crazy low, but if 5 of the teams below us take Dmen, and the typical Celebrini, Demidov, Lindstrom... it's not too far off.
I bet it's Iginla or Catton for sure. They're at the point in their rebuild where they can just take the guy they like the most and fits the team best, over highest possible ceiling
Too small for the Hab!!! They always had Caufield in the top 6 it is enough . Gorton draft big for the playoff!!1 Slaf, Reinbacher.............And trade for Big, Dach!!
Can't argue with you there, but Catton wouldn't be a bad pick either. As long as the Habs draft a forward with whats available in the top 10, I'll be happy. For me... I'm looking at players like Lindstrom, Iginla, Sennecke, or Eiserman as possible draft prospects Habs could get at #5.
i wanted Catton - Buium or Parekh so im happy with this pick for me these 3 kids were BPA players at 8th. Catton is a stud 🔥 star potential? we see but this kid has good projection and we need star power in offence
at the bare minimum he can be a 70-80 points 1st line center and at the best I can totally see him being a 90-110 points top 10 players in the league. There's acc no way he become a bust
Yeah the numbers don't lie, but the NHL GMs tend to like well-rounded players more. I'd swing for the fences and take high offense. But they obviously have the best scouts in the world and there are other things they look for in a player.
Between all these highly skilled forwards and Defencemen it's hard not to draft a special player in the top 20 of this year's draft. Teams just need the right fit for their team.
I could imagine him on a line with Michkov and Foerster on the Flyers. Id put Tyson on that line since hes good defensively and has some size. I would say Tippet but Tips aint as good defensively.
Overall play...NHL take into account all parts of a players game. But the skillset is definitely there! Will be interesting to see what happens come draft day.
Intriguing prospect. I don't know if I want the Habs to take him or Lindstrom. He's a bit on the short side and would probably have to play on Dach's wing to be effective, but I just love those type of players.
On a hope and a prayer I hope he falls to 9 for the Flames. I know a ton of other Flames fans want Tij, but having another dude who can potentially be that #1 C is huge.
I wish him all the best, just not on the habs. We have enough centreman with low size and only 1 way play. We already have an amazing player whose underrated in Joshua Roy.
Sorry for delay...you had me thinking on this one! I like Suzuki's overall game, so probably would go him, but Catton does have that wow factor. Both legit I guess!
@@nhldraftpros I’m hoping the flyers pick either on or both with a trade up the draft. Seems like eiserman would be good to have for pure goal scoring but a dual threat would make more sense for our future.
His skills looks very similar to Jordan Kyrou. I really hope he has more heart and compete than Kyrou. Or whoever drafts him will be driven crazy by how talented but lazy he is.
Welcome to Seattle! #LGK
Great pick!
Go Kraken!!! Kid’s gonna be a menace with us.
What a pick up!!!
This draft has an absolutely amazing top 10, so underrated
Turning out to be some nice surprises in this draft!
Wow this is a video I was waiting for. Great job man. Yup, I'd be fine seein' this kid in a Habs jersey next season thats for sure
Would be a nice fit!
He`s basically already wearing one
The Habs don't really need another small forward prospect, but this kid is very talented.

You just named a bunch of very different players. Jack Hughes, Keller and point kinda fit. Kane and Cooley no way. Cooley was 2 way and less dynamic
This guy is #3 for me for forwards behind Celebrini and Demidov
Agreed!
If you look only at skill I agree. Hes #3 on skill potential. But to be the best you need other stuff like leadership, grit and defensive play which is why he will be picked after Lindstrom Imo but hes really skilled!
@@mickaelhebertbureau8451 Lindstrom is back from December injury and doing really well in playoffs too!

@s.b.3275 demidov has higher ceiling projectability and while catton is faster, demidov has better edges. His edges are very unique.
For some reason his playstyle, and mostly his skating mechanics/the way he moves around reminds me of Gaudreau. He’s like Gaudreau if Gaudreau where like 4 inches taller
I can see this...thanks for sharing!
I’m thinking the flames should take him if the habs take tij and he’s available at 9
1. celebrini
2. levshunov
3.buium
4.demidov
5.catton

The guy prob has the 2nd greatest draft eligible season of all time in whl history (behind bedzy ofc)
I hope people don’t skip him because he’s small. Has anybody heard of Johnny Gaudreau? Juuse Saros?
I hope he gets skipped a lot so the Wild can pick him up.
This kid is crazy good
I hope he replaces guadreau on the flames
Caufield
He's get great mitts and exceptional hockey iq. The biggest know on him is his D zone play. He will be a good player but, i do not see him as a center in the nhl, he will more then likely be on the wing. Great video
He already lookin good with Habs color
Thats Clayton Keller
Love these videos! Keep it up, man!
Thanks man! Appreciate all the support! Cheers!
Flyers need this

I’m happy he’s staying in Washington and coming to Seattle!
you asked respectfully, so i subbed.
Appreciate it! Thank you!
Looks like a great fit for The Flyers… let’s cook with Michkov.
If Catton drops to Flyers...take him an run!
Wouldn’t be shocked if the Habs drafted him
He’s already got the jersey too
He is all over the place. Anywhere between 5th - 12th. Overall.
@@nicolastomas8436 and not any random jersey number!
I bet it's Iginla or Catton for sure. They're at the point in their rebuild where they can just take the guy they like the most and fits the team best, over highest possible ceiling

I think skillwise he is better than Lindstrom, Eiserman or Iginla, you are right, if he was 6'2 he will probable to 2nd after Celebrini.
Catton remind me a little bit of Alex Kovalev deke. Awesome skills set, but does it can translate well in the NHL opposing bigger players...
Little side track that Luca Cagnoni goal at 9:38 is absolutely beautiful. What a steal by the Sharks!
i wanted Catton - Buium or Parekh so im happy with this pick for me these 3 kids were BPA players at 8th. Catton is a stud 🔥 star potential? we see but this kid has good projection and we need star power in offence
Great content. I wish habs picks him
Thanks! Would be a great pick up! Crazy skill!
Logan Cooley 2.0 ?
I like this!
This guy could be the next Brayden Point if he works on a couple small things.
Could see him dropping because of the size like Bensen.
And what a mistake that would be if NHL pass on him like Benson!
As a Flyers fan I wonder what`s his faceoff percentage.
at the bare minimum he can be a 70-80 points 1st line center and at the best I can totally see him being a 90-110 points top 10 players in the league. There's acc no way he become a bust
during his prime*
Personally… I don’t see him become a center at all
I really think he’ll end up on the wing in the Show
Catton and Parekh are way too slept on and if they fall in the draft, many teams will regret it
Just saying if chicago ends up at 3 then I wouldn’t be mad if we put this guy on bedards wing 👀👀
Yeah the numbers don't lie, but the NHL GMs tend to like well-rounded players more. I'd swing for the fences and take high offense. But they obviously have the best scouts in the world and there are other things they look for in a player.

Thanks for support...much appreciated! Cheers!

Michkov and Catton...insert whoever else!
Reminds me of Joe Sakic.
Interesting... However brings me back to memories of Wickenheiser vs Savard ... Nothing much has changed since ..
Hopefully my habs take him
Why he isn't considered a top 3 pick is a joke😂
Overall play...NHL take into account all parts of a players game. But the skillset is definitely there! Will be interesting to see what happens come draft day.
@@nhldraftprosyear in and year out the Hockey News are the best forecasters. I don't know how they do it.
Love the offense but man the defense is horrible
Needs some work on that for sure...but as they say 'you can't teach offense'
Intriguing prospect. I don't know if I want the Habs to take him or Lindstrom. He's a bit on the short side and would probably have to play on Dach's wing to be effective, but I just love those type of players.

Hockey News is often right. To bad Hawks need size or RHD. But Demitov and Catton might end up being the best players in the draft after Celebrini.
I really like Brerkley Catton, but how does he compare with Nick Suzuki at his draft year?
Who would you pick first, Catton or Suzuki?
Sorry for delay...you had me thinking on this one! I like Suzuki's overall game, so probably would go him, but Catton does have that wow factor. Both legit I guess!
Drop the the Flyers at 12!!!!!
Fingers crossed!
Flyers going to draft him this Friday.. Go Flyers
Great pick up!
Hope calgary gets him or iginla
Future sabres
Does he remind anyone of Jack Hughes?
Yes, he does!
Hope Calgary selects him 🔥
Great pick up!
Considering it’s not unreasonable to say he could be 6’0 185+ by the time he’s 21. This kid could be special.
THIS!!!
I have Marner vibes with this guy
Left handed Raymond
Welcome to MTL
Reminds me of Marner for some reason !
Catton or Eiserman?
Oh...tough call! I like them both a lot! One is a goal scorer (Eiserman) and the other dual threat (Catton). Tough one!
@@nhldraftpros I’m hoping the flyers pick either on or both with a trade up the draft. Seems like eiserman would be good to have for pure goal scoring but a dual threat would make more sense for our future.
@@vitaminme4203 Agreed!
Who can u see Detroit getting at 15 ?
I think they'd go forward and if that's the case depends who slides that low. Maybe Liam Greentree?
2:56 what is number 7 in red doing I could be on the team doing that wtf
the defenders are sleeping, he wouldn't score a goal like that in the NHL
Future Flame
No chance😂😂😂
NHL is not easy as that, defenders are not sleeping
That DY PPG ranking isn't right. Looking back no further than last years' draft Andrew Cristall was 1.76 PPG in his draft year.
Yeah I pulled Cristall from the list to make room for Catton...wanted NHL players on the list mostly. Nice catch!
@@nhldraftpros Gotcha. In a more sober state I would've caught on to it not being a complete list with the #8 spot being just 1.26. My bad. :)
@@bajjanitor Hahaha! All good! But you were correct...even in a non-sober state lol
DEMIDOV 1st overall🎉
His skills looks very similar to Jordan Kyrou. I really hope he has more heart and compete than Kyrou. Or whoever drafts him will be driven crazy by how talented but lazy he is.
Once this kid puts on 20 lbs, watch out !!! I would love my Wings to get this guy
He'll be long gone once Detroit gets up on the podium.
