thats the lowest i've seen Katic, i strongly doubt he'll fall that far, unless he gets injured, he's an amazing talent and has proven to be a better player than Couture... 12 months ago i never thought i'd hear myself saying that, here's the last ISS rankings put out on Hockeys' future, it's only a top 5 but sounds more accurate to me....
ISS Top 5 2007 NHL Draft
1. Gillies, Colton – Center, 2/12/1989, Shoots: L, H: 6-4, W: 182, Saskatoon (WHL)
2. Esposito, Angelo – Left Wing, 2/20/1989, Shoots: L, H: 6-1, W: 170, Quebec (QMJHL)
3. Katic, Marc- Defense, 5/9/1989, Shoots: L, H: 5-11, W: 179, Sarnia (OHL)
4. Petrecki, Nick, Defense, 7/11/1989, Shoots: L, H: 6-3, W: 205, Omaha (USHL)
5. Gagner, Sam, Right Wing, 8/10/1989, Shoots: R, H: 5-10, W: 182, Sioux City (USHL
i think Espsito will turn out as the #1 pick, he seems like he's just got too much talent, Mark Katic (spelt Mark not Marc) has got speed like i've never seen out of someone his age, they're saying that he's got more speed than anyone as a 16 year old since Paul Coffey in the late 70's which is alot of pressure to put on a kid, but he's got great puckhandling skills, is a very offensively while still being a responsible defenceman, he looks smaller on the ice than 5'11" but unless a team is looking for a big craash and banger defenceman Katic will easily be the 1st defenceman selected. Everyone will get a better look at what he can really do with some of the spotlight moved to Stamkos; Katic will have more room to show what he can do.
