After selecting the second highest rated defenseman in last year's entry draft, Haydn Fleury, could the Carolina Hurricanes go for another defenseman with the fifth overall pick this year?
Of course, Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel are going to be selected one and two later this month. Next on several experts' draft sheets is defenseman Noah Hanifin, who is rated as the third best prospect overall by many. But sometimes defensemen drop unexpectedly in drafts, especially when there are high end offensive talents available.
The OHL scoring champion, Dylan Strome could go in the top five as could Mitch Marner, the dynamic skater who placed right behind Strome in the scoring race.
