Martin Necas can’t make the Carolina Hurricanes’ roster this year, can he?
He’s 18 and looks younger. The Czech center says he weighs more than 180 pounds but looks lighter. He has played on bigger European rinks all of his life, allowing him more room on the ice to use his speed and quickness.
Besides, look at the Canes’ roster and the number of forwards with NHL contracts. Look at the Canes’ centers. Where is there room, even for a first-round draft pick?
The Hurricanes may have to find room. The kid can fly, a swift skater with quick hands and the ability to make things happen on the ice.
