nfreeman Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share 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.

Was there ever really much hype around here for him from anyone other than our resident "every prospect is the 2nd coming" poster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Yeah, Chz was pretty impressed at his first training camp. I was hopeful all that speed would prove useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share 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.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubkev Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I can't be the only one who never expected anything out of Catenacci.

Hoss Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share 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.

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!

LGR4GM Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
