Comparing Hurricanes’ wingers to the Metropolitan Divison

Welcome to part two of my series comparing the Canes’ position groups to the rest of the Metropolitan Division. Last week, I did centers; today, it’s the wingers.

The Canes are in an interesting spot at this position. With Sebastian Aho moving to center, the Jeff Skinner trade leaves the Canes a little light on the wing. Teuvo Teravainen, coming off a breakout, 23-goal, 64-point season, is a lock for a spot on the first line with his countryman Aho. Joining them will likely be Valentin Zykov, who had three goals and seven points in 10 games during a late-season call up last year.

The second line will see No.2 pick Andrei Svechnikov on the right side; the Canes will be expecting a big first…
