The NHL Draft will kick off Thursday night in Montreal, as hockey’s best prospects find new homes and NHL teams find new prospects.
It’s a magical night for everyone involved, though Thursday’s first round won’t exactly be eventful for the Carolina Hurricanes. By virtue of the Jesperi Kotkaniemi offer sheet, the Hurricanes are without a first-round pick for the second year in a row.
Still, the Canes will be busy on Friday with eight picks overall. Here’s each of the picks the Canes currently own:
Round 2, 60th overall
Round 3, 71st overall
Round 4, 121st overall
Round 5, 156th overall
Round 6, 171st overall
