In 2017, the Carolina Hurricanes used the 12th overall pick to draft a young Czech forward named Martin Necas. We all know how explosive Necas is with his skating and how he could dangle in a phone booth, but that’s always been as a winger. When he was drafted, the Nove Mesto na Morave native was drafted as a center iceman.
