The Carolina Hurricanes have turned a new leaf when it comes to drafting solid prospects.
After putting together a phenomenal 2nd round draft performance for the Carolina Hurricanes in 2020, Tulsky and Co. have their work cut out for them in 2021.
In 2020, the Carolina Hurricanes drafted both Noel Gunler and Vasily Ponomaryov in the 2nd Round. In 2019, their first 2nd round selection, Pyotr Kochetkov, is set to be (for the time being) the Canes’ “goalie of the future”, but is still largely a question mark when it comes to NHL-readiness and trajectory.
