Berkly Catton To Be a Top Canadiens Draft Target This Summer

Berkly Catton is Your WHL First Overall Pick - The Hockey News

The Montreal Canadiens are in need of elite skill and goal-scoring in the organization, and few players available in the 2024 NHL Draft fit the bill quite like Berkly Catton.

When NHL betting odds predicted a bottom-five finish for the Montreal Canadiens at the start of the year, Catton’s impressive Hlinka-Gretzky performances, along with his herculean workload with the Spokane Chiefs, put him right in Montreal’s potential draft window.

The 18-year-old was a dominant force in the WHL this season for Spokane and possesses one of the most elite offensive skill sets in this summer’s class. Naturally, Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes and his team have been monitoring him throughout the season, as he could be the dynamic offensive player needed to complete their young exciting core.
