The Carolina Hurricanes are a top-five team in the NHL right now, and there are plenty of reasons for that.
Perhaps chief among them is their untouchable top-nine center group, manned by Sebastian Aho, Vincent Trocheck, and Jordan Staal - a trio that has combined for 30 goals and 64 points through 24 games.

Despite his point-per-game pace out of the gate, I’d argue that Aho hasn’t even caught his stride yet in this 2021 season.
