After much reading, review of videos, and contemplation, the Canes Country crew has decided to select Kieffer Bellows with the Hurricanes' 13th overall pick. Before I explain the reasoning for the pick, let's take a look at the previous selections.
Gone are Logan Brown, Clayton Keller, and Tyson Jost, players who have slipped to number 13 on some mock drafts, but who are normally ranked higher. At this point, there were still several fine players available, among them Michael McLeod, Luke Kunin, Julien Gauthier, and others, but we chose Bellows.
In my mind, the decision came down to McLeod and Bellows.
