Congratulations to Cody for putting together the best roster in our 2020 Canes Country Ultimate Fantasy Draft, as voted by more than half of those who took our poll last Friday. Of course, having the first pick made things somewhat easier. Not saying, just saying.
A few more thoughts on the process and the draft:
- The history of the Hurricanes can be split into five major segments: the Greensboro years, the pre-lockout Raleigh years, the 2006-09 run of (relative) success, the lost near-decade, and the renaissance that began in 2018. It’s not really a surprise that most of the players drafted came prior to 2009, with a few - Wesley, Brind’Amour, Staal and Wallin, to name four - crossing over into multiple segments.
