"Often outplayed" is probably the better term... at least in the games I saw. Reschny's line played head-to-head with Catton/Cristall line, and Reschny's line very much kept up and often controlled the play. He was clearly better than Catton when I was watching.
Cristall was also the noticeable difference maker on Catton's line as well, and I think the stats actually show that as 9 of Catton's 14 points were secondary assists (with the primary assist or goal usually going to Cristall).
I'm not really knocking Catton, as I think he's going to be a decent player, I just think that series showed Reschny could keep up with the big boys in junior on both sides of the puck--even though he's younger and didn't quite have the talent beside him.
He's my pick at 18... if he's there.
