A few seasons ago, the Carolina Hurricanes’ farm system was a desolate waste land with little to no talent at every position. Things have changed.
The Hurricanes now have a wide array of talent in their system, specifically on the blue line, with guys like Noah Hanifin, Haydn Fleury, Brett Pesce, Jaccob Slavin, Trevor Carrick, and Roland McKeown all having upside of a top-four defenseman in the NHL.
It does get a little thin at other positions, however.
At forward, Brock McGinn, Sebastian Aho, and Sergey Tolchinsky are the bright spots, but none of them project to be top-line players.
