After having time to digest what was one of the more strange drafts overall that I've seen, it's time to recap what Carolina did with their eight picks. Looking over the Canes’ draft list, there are some interesting things that stick out regarding the prospects that were added to the organization over the course of the weekend.

It was painfully obvious that the club did not expect to make this many draft picks. Whether it was an expansion draft hangover or a draft where after a certain point (pick 35-40ish) teams decided to go with the players that they scouted most and knew best, there was a shockingly low amount of pick and player movement.
