The injury to Carolina Hurricanes star left winger Sebastian Aho put the team at odds of late. Carolina is making a legitimate mid-season case to break their playoff drought before it reaches nearly a decade. However, Aho is needed to prevent the playoff drought from continuing.
As a second round pick of the Canes, 35th overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, Aho was definitely a value find. Among all second round picks in 2015, Aho is performing head and shoulders above the rest. His raw talent level is showing through even clearer this season than it was last.
