>>Count me in the « Buffalo Sabres should trade this pick » camp. They are chock-full of prospects and young players at every position, and need someone who can be impactful immediately. Catton is not that, but giving a rebuilding team the chance to select him makes a ton of sense.
>Catton is a well-rounded offensive player who possesses a slippery skating style, high-end release and an ability to use space to make quality plays to his teammates. He understands how to draw defenders toward him and zip the puck to a teammate or on net for a scoring chance.
>>Should the Sabres keep the pick, Catton projects as a middle-six winger capable of making every one of his linemates better. Not only is Catton a well-rounded offensive player, he was a consistently effective penalty killer. That type of well-roundedness on both sides of the puck is translatable to the NHL level and speaks volumes about his work rate and two-way abilities.
>>His 5-10 frame gives some scouts pause, but the ability to impact the game on both sides of the puck gives Catton a better chance of being a middle-six player if he doesn’t hit his offensive ceiling. There is a lot to like about Catton, and frankly, if he were taller, he’d be long gone by this spot.

if we do keep the pick we need to take a defenseman. this draft is loaded with them and we already have more elite forward prospects than will ever actually play for the team.
Trade the pick and break the drought.
We’re not going to hit again with another Benson.
Taking Catton, or probably any forward over one of the top 6 defenseman in this draft would just be stupid, imo. We have Cattons. Yakemchuk, the #6 ranked defenseman, scored over 30 goals, had over 120 PIM, and hits like truck. We have nothing of this calibre in the system. All of them would be our #1 D prospect.
Edit: Just to say that personally, I hope we can trade the pick.
I’m in favor of trading the pick, but i also wouldn’t hate it if Yakemchuk is available at 11.
