Katzin’s motor and defensive engagement consistently stood out. Despite measuring only 5-foot-8, he never shied away from contact. He caught up to the opposition, engaged them from behind, and tried to disrupt their plays. While he wasn’t successful, one couldn’t ever fault his effort. This is a player who has a burning desire to create and win his shifts. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
