Yesterday, we profiled Nico Hischier, Nolan Patrick and Miro Heiskanen as we prepare for the 2017 NHL Draft on June 23 and 24 in Chicago. Hischier and Patrick are in a class of their own, almost certain to be the first two players off the board, but Heiskanen belongs to a second tier of players who will likely go between third and sixth in some order. Who ends up where is still up in the air.
Could one of them end up with the Hurricanes? Potentially, and there’s one who would fit in great should the Canes decide to trade up.
