With each passing day, Martin Necas is getting closer and closer to making the Carolina Hurricanes roster.
He’s not there yet. The Czech forward, the Canes’ first-round draft pick this year, had a temporary locker stall in a hallway outside the team’s main locker room on Friday morning at PNC Arena, befitting the youngest player in training camp.
Drafted as a center, Necas, 18, was moved to right wing in the Canes’ final two preseason games, playing on Derek Ryan’s line opposite left wing Jeff Skinner.
“You can just see that raw talent when he’s on the ice,” Ryan said.
