Let us take a moment to appreciate a glorious defenseman, in the form of Noah Hanifin. Is there any specific reason I bring him up at this specific time? Nope, I just thought he deserved some recognition for being the best player on the Carolina Hurricanes.
Compared to the draftees before him in 2015, Hanifin gets very little NHL coverage. In fairness, there is good reason for this. McDavid, Eichel, Strome and Marner deserve all the credit they receive. In addition, Hanifin plays for a small market team, so he is destined to get less attention.
The problem is, Hanifin is fantastic.
