The pride of all Carolina Hurricanes fans is 23-year-old defenseman Justin Faulk, a player who continues to rise as one of the league’s best blue liners at a very young age.
The South St. Paul, Minnesota native was drafted by Carolina in the 2nd round of the 2010 Entry Draft, and since breaking into the league in 2011, he has shown the potential to be a star in the NHL, but is this hometown bias? How good is Justin Faulk?
Well, in terms of production, Faulk is a fringe top-10 defenseman across the entire league.
