nfreeman Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 BTW: I just had a look at the Amerks' stats. Catenacci has 2 points in 21 games. Following in Hodgson's footsteps. Eeeeeeeeessshhhh. Quote

Eleven Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 I can't be the only one who never expected anything out of Catenacci. I was hopeful that his incredible speed would lead to something, but it looks like he's going to turn out to be all legs and no hands. But damn, he's fast. Quote
shrader Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 I can't be the only one who never expected anything out of Catenacci. Was there ever really much hype around here for him from anyone other than our resident "every prospect is the 2nd coming" poster? Quote
Samson's Flow Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Was there ever really much hype around here for him from anyone other than our resident "every prospect is the 2nd coming" poster? I remember out resident lady mod referring to him as "catnasty". I would guess that was praise. :unsure: Quote
Weave Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Yeah, Chz was pretty impressed at his first training camp. I was hopeful all that speed would prove useful. Quote
LGR4GM Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 I can't be the only one who never expected anything out of Catenacci. I thought he had a shot at the 3rd line but this year he has really slumped. Was there ever really much hype around here for him from anyone other than our resident "every prospect is the 2nd coming" poster? Who's that? Quote
Drunkard Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 I thought he had a shot at the 3rd line but this year he has really slumped. Who's that? Just like the thing with crazy relatives, if you can't point out who it is, then it's probably you. Quote
3putt Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 Just like the thing with crazy relatives, if you can't point out who it is, then it's probably you. Or the "fish" at a poker table. Quote
spndnchz Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 I remember out resident lady mod referring to him as "catnasty". I would guess that was praise. :unsure: He looked really good at that camp. Fast, good hands, just never got it going at the next level I guess. Quote
LGR4GM Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 I have no idea. lol Just like the thing with crazy relatives, if you can't point out who it is, then it's probably you. Or the "fish" at a poker table. Sarcasm on my end boys. He looked really good at that camp. Fast, good hands, just never got it going at the next level I guess. That's why it is disappointing. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 He looked really good at that camp. Fast, good hands, just never got it going at the next level I guess. Sounds like a summary of your experience with your former boy toy and not a Sabre prospect, but maybe it's just me. :wub: Quote
ubkev Posted December 10, 2014 Report Posted December 10, 2014 I can't be the only one who never expected anything out of Catenacci. But he was the steal of the draft, blah blah, had a first round grade and we got him in the third blah blah... Quote
K-9 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Posted December 11, 2014 Sounds like a summary of your experience with your former boy toy and not a Sabre prospect, but maybe it's just me. :wub: Wait. When chz said "next level" it was really a metaphor? I can only imagine what "catnasty" means. GO SABRES!!! Quote
Hoss Posted December 11, 2014 Report Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) I wonder if Chz (or women in general) will ever be able to engage in intelligent sport conversation without it being sexualized. Edited December 11, 2014 by Tank Quote

Jealous Tank? Nobody tell you you look pretty today huh? From what I've read from CHZ, she can dole it out as much as she can take it.... Quote

If Chz had a problem she would be the first person to let it be known. If you ever become a mod on here this place will be one boring ass place. Quote

Sure you do. But who says chivalry is dead? This is the cyber equivalent of placing your coat over a puddle of water so that a lady may pass unsoiled. Bravo! Quote
LGR4GM Posted December 11, 2014 Report Posted December 11, 2014 But he was the steal of the draft, blah blah, had a first round grade and we got him in the third blah blah... Yea I am just skipping the random other crap... Catnasty had a lot of hustle, speed, and skill in junior. He improved just a little bit each year. His first full year as an Amerk he had 10g, 10a in 76 games. With those numbers you would have thought coming into this season for him to maybe inch up to 15g and 20a. Unfortunately he has played meh hockey from what I gather and it isn't so much that he is really terrible just that he is in a slump to some degree. He still has the potential to be a Sabre some day but right now it looks like he projects out to 3rd/4th guy at best. One thing to think of when looking at any our of prospects is what is their level of progress or evolution. For instance Nick Baptiste went from 3rd round player with a decent 48pts to a late 1st early 2nd round player in a redraft when the following year he dropped 89pts including 45goals. Now if he sustains or hopefully grows past that this year that is good. It means his ceiling hasn't been reached and he could get even better. For those down on Baptiste this season, he now has 5pts in 7 games for Erie so clearly he is adjusting. The last thing I will mention with prospects and something another poster and I discuss often is points to size ratio. Catenacci is 5'10" 191lbs. So he is short but heavy. Baptiste is 6'1" 204lb. As such I need Catenacci to score at a higher rate in juniors than Baptiste for him to have the same effectiveness in the AHL or NHL. Now yes there are exceptions but Catenacci is not the exception he is the rule. Quote
inkman Posted December 11, 2014 Report Posted December 11, 2014 Liger, no way catanacci is anything other than a minor leaguer. He's barely a 3rd line AHL player. He's Holzinger but with significantly worse hands, less speed and less size. He's never noticeable in the ice. If he couldn't come close to cracking one of the worst NHL lineups in history, why would he ever make the bigs. Quote

That may be one of the most terrifying things I have ever heard. Quote
