The Next Ones – Daniel Catenacci – NHL 2011 Draft Prospect Profile: The Flash | The Hockey Writers

The Next Ones – Daniel Catenacci – NHL 2011 Draft Prospect Profile: The Flash | The Hockey Writers:


"Daniel Catenacci’s hockey sense has been compared to Rico Fata. Unfortunately, proponents of this statement are not complimenting Catenacci. However, I beg to differ. The speedster has a very high compete level and knows how to play the game. Should he fall to the second round, notch it up as a steal for the team selecting him.



From THW’s spotlight on Catenacci in the spring of this year:



Catenacci is flourishing as a leader on the Greyhounds squad this season and displaying the skills that tempted management to select him as a first overall pick. His intriguing combination of speed, puck handling and play making prowess project him to be a top-two centre at the NHL level who likens himself to Sidney Crosby, but is often compared to Peter Forsberg. He has excellent acceleration and can move from point A to point B very quickly and efficiently.



In an interview with The Hockey News in the fall of 2008, Catenacci stated that, “Speed is my top skill,” he said. “I think I have pretty good vision, too.”



At worst, he will become a borderline first line centre similar to Nashville’s Matthew Lombardi, who in his own right has sublime speed and creative skills."
