Significant right now.
Gauthier is years ahead and playing on the Ducks and could be a prime player in a couple years.
How vast is the gap between Gauthier and Catton in a multi-cat league?
I almost think they're neck-and-neck, but I could be uncharacteristically high on Catton... primarily because I consider him to be the only young Kraken forward prospect with true dynamic offensive skill (yes, I like his upside more than Wright) and Cutter is one of many duckling mouths to feed.

I think Catton needs to take a decent step in his development to be on the same level as Cutter. Not saying it can’t happen, but right now there’s a decent gap in my opinion.
Ya this one isn't really close for me. Gauthier is the easier choice for me. Just further ahead in his development and while Catton may someday catch up, I dont think at max level for either that Catton would ever be better.

I'm not sure which one of these guys turns out to be the better NHL player but I do know it will be many years before we actually know. I think it's also fair to say that at age 20 Cutter Gauthier has a wealth of experience compared to Catton at age 18. 2 full years of NCAA hockey in one of the most successful systems that exists and has historically churned out quality NHL players. 2 World Junior Championships, that's some nice experience as well, and I'm sure there were other learning opportunities that Gauthier has experienced that Catton currently has not. Not close.

Catton had a better D0 year than Cutter, so if he keeps progressing than i think its real close. Cutter has 2 yrs on him which in fantasy is alot.

I'd probably take a swing on Catton here – the point potential is just so good.

I love Catton but today the gap is significant. Gauthier confirmed our faith in him and sort of stepped it up last season. Berkley fans are just sort of hoping he does something similar this season...
I think it’s pretty easy to build an argument that Catton will be better/has higher upside than Gauthier. Better D0 season, less competition, and I personally have never really bought the hype on Gauthier.
But depends what you’re looking for. As you can see, Gauthier has the more name value. So are you looking for the most valuable trade chip or the best long term hold? If I had Catton, I wouldn’t trade a significant plus to get Gauthier. If I had Gauthier, it’s definitely worth enquiring as to if you can get a decent plus with Catton.
I mean here's an interesting question- what type of player are you getting and what role will they play.
I will say its a lot easier for me to envision where Cattons skillset fits in an integral/key offensive role.on the topline and pp1. Hes a tremendous play driver who has a knack for setting up short passes and play connecting passes that is sort of a wet dream for a sniper and it looks like he's poised to be on a line with a couple.of them.in Tolvanem and Wright.
Does this make Catton the better own? No Gauthier is a stud in his own right and he has the potential to land a gig just as exciting- but I also see some.oytcomes here that aren't AS great- say a 2nd line complimentary scorer. I saw the shiny new toys comment but I just feel like Seattle knocked.it out of the park in terms of adding a guy who enhances their specific system/style aka the one they're already playing... Im not sure I see the same sort of "perfect match" with Gauthier and the Ducks. If someone wants to make the argument id listen- that's just where im at with it...
Weekly hth league- 2c, 3w,1 ff (forward only flex), 4d, 1g, and one true flex. Sog/goal weighted for skaters: G4, A3, Sog1, PPP+1. +/- adds/minuses one for F/3 for D. Workhorse starters = GOLD!
We are a full dynasty keeper BUT we only protect 8 (9 if you miss playoffs)- which means that you can lose ONE player outside that range each year to the steal round.

I agree with you rataylor. Though I think Gauthier will be a good player and is a Calder candidate potentially, I never seen his ceiling as being sky high whereas Catton joined 3 players with 115 points in their draft-eligible CHL seasons….Patty Kane, Bedatd and him. No matter the line mates or any way you slice it there’s 3 and that is elite company. Gauthier blew the doors off the college circuit this season but that’s expected of any star caliber prospects. And as Bubba said up too it’s gonna be many years until we really know who’s better. I’d take Catton over Cutter here.
