The NHL draft lottery was good to the Carolina Hurricanes, landing them the No. 2 pick in the 2018 NHL Draft.
“We’re very fortunate,” Canes owner Tom Dundon said. “It definitely makes it easier to do what we’re trying to do here. Every little thing helps. It’s just a little thing, right?”
Reminded that recent No. 2 draft picks include such players as Patrik Laine of the Winnipeg Jets and Aleksander Barkov of the Florida Panthers, impact players who can quickly help transform a franchise, Dundon qualified his comments.
“This isn’t about one player," he said.
