If Berkly Catton’s reviews by scouts and draft experts alike could be summed up in one word, that word would be “glowing.” One example of many, from TheHockeyWriters.com:
“Catton excels in all facets of the game, with no glaring weaknesses whatsoever besides his lack of size. He is excellent on his edges which more than makes up for his average top speed, allowing him to blow by opponents with clever routes and pure agility. Catton is so slippery in fact that he draws a ton of penalties at the junior level, which he can often capitalize on as the motor that runs his team’s top power play unit.”
Then there’s his Mensa-level hockey IQ, which Catton talks about in this Kraken Reaction.
