Catching up with Hurricanes prospect David Cotton
Jamie KellnerEvery year at Hurricanes development camp, there’s at least one “elder statesman”, a prospect in his third or fourth camp who stands out from the rest and takes on a bit of a leadership role. This year, one of those players was forward David Cotton.
A sixth rounder in 2015, Cotton was in Raleigh for his fourth development camp. He stood out throughout the week’s drills and during Saturday’s 3-on-3 scrimmage, and has grown his game quite a bit in three years at Boston College. Cotton has also gotten to see a good bit of change in the organization over that span as well, from the early stages of the Ron Francis/Bill Peters era to the early success of the new regime.
