    Catton at 3, wow. He’s the most interesting player to watch at the draft, imo. Akin to Benson in a lot of ways

    >23 points in 54 games is preposterous, with Michkov, Tarasenko and Panarin the only players in the KHL’s 15 year history to do better P/GP wise.

    Nikita Artamonov doing that in the KHL in his D minus 1 year is absolutely absurd. But not as absurd as Panarin doing that and not even getting drafted.

    Numbers like that sort of make him seem an absolute home run. He has him ranked 11, but his composite ranking is like 30.

    He’s called the pitbull because of the way he plays which mirrors a lot of what Benson does in terms of his effort and aggressiveness, creating a lot of turnovers

    His player types on eliteprospects are:
    Cerebral Tactician
    Playmaker
    Workhorse

    I wonder if it’s just a case of no one being able to watch him live in the K. Could have massive potential.

    I guess he is projected as a middle 6 winger, so at 11 you’re sort of looking for a homerun, but can he be a homerun? I don’t know. I think we can one with a defenseman since the rankings are all over the place.
