There isn't a single skill missing from Mathieu Cataford's toolkit. He can win pucks back on the forecheck, move them quickly to his teammates in the slot, drive through the hands of defenders to get to the net-front, make plays in transition, deceive opponents, and break into the offensive zone. And he can sneak in holes in the opposition's coverage and shoot off passes. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
