It’s that time of year again, folks!
The NHL Draft will kick off Thursday night in Montreal, as hockey’s best prospects find new homes and NHL teams find new prospects.
It’s a magical night for everyone involved, though Thursday’s first round won’t exactly be eventful for the Carolina Hurricanes. By virtue of the Jesperi Kotkaniemi offer sheet, the Hurricanes are without a first-round pick for the second year in a row.
Still, the Canes will be busy on Friday with eight picks overall. Here’s each of the picks the Canes currently own:
- Round 2, 60th overall
- Round 3, 71st overall
- Round 4, 121st overall
- Round 5, 156th overall
- Round 6, 171st overall
- Round 6, 188th overall
- Round 7, 205th overall
- Round 7, 220th overall
There’s a good chance that list changes for the Canes, who are never ones to sit quietly on draft day and just make their picks.
