Folks, it’s my absolute favorite time of the year. Draft day is upon us, and while the Hurricanes are without a first round pick, it’s still an exciting time. My last piece of written content before the draft is a look at the team’s needs by position and what the team can do to fill those needs at the draft these next two days. Obviously, there’s no guarantee that these prospects make it to the NHL, but I’m looking more at overall depth by position.
Center
Top prospects in the system: Jack Drury, Ryan Suzuki, Massimo Rizzo, Vasiliy Ponomaryov
The Hurricanes’ biggest need at the draft is the center position.
