Erica L. Ayala brings the heat in this episode of Locked On Kraken, diving deep into prospect Berkley Catton’s potential and the Kraken’s development strategy. She’s fired up about Catton’s chances of cracking the roster at 19, comparing his situation to Shane Wright’s last year. The kid’s got game – 109 points in 57 WHL games? Nasty.
Ayala breaks down a Seattle Times piece that likens finding a franchise center to catching a muskie – the “fish of 10,000 casts.” It’s all about patience and persistence in building a contender through the draft. Will Catton be that elusive big fish for Seattle?
The host doesn’t pull punches addressing listener criticism. She’s unapologetic about her style, highlighting the challenges faced by women, people of color, and Latinas in media. “I promise you, I give the same energy on this podcast that I do in real life,” Ayala declares. No gas, all breaks.
This episode’s got it all – prospect hype, fishing analogies, and Ayala keeping it real. Kraken fans, you’re in for a wild ride.
