It only seemed like a short while ago when the Carolina Hurricanes were hesitating way too much to bring up some of the top prospects from the Charlotte Checkers. That seems like a short span of time because it was only a few games ago.
A rash of injuries forced Carolina’s front office to give a few players like Russian forward Valentin Zykov, rookie defenseman Roland McKeown, and power forward Warren Foegele, the call up from Charlotte. McKeown and Foegele were both sent back down to the Checkers on March 28.
With Charlotte in playoff contention, and the Canes out of it at this point, it only made sense for each player to add value back to the Checkers’ lineup.
