In the clips I've watched Lindstrom looked like he has all of the tools, but one of my concerns is that it looks like his superior size, strength, and speed may be compensating for some slightly lacking hockey IQ. That, as well as personally knowing how much a back injury can screw up a life. I could be way off about his hockey sense since I haven't seen nearly as much footage as scouts.
If he does actually have that IQ, he's exactly the kind of player who could be a monster in the playoffs, whereas Catton's game will likely suffer a bit.
I think I'll be really happy with nearly all of the possible picks at #9.
