College hockey has become a more and more common route for players to get to the NHL. The flow of talent from the NCAA to the NHL is not quite as potent as it is from Canadian major junior leagues. Carolina Hurricanes players like Brett Pesce, Jacob Slavin, Noah Hanifin, and Justin Faulk, show why it is important to keep tabs on our NCAA prospects. The Hurricanes currently have 7 prospects playing in the NCAA. I will rank them in order of how I see their development coming along.
