Last week, the Carolina Hurricanes welcomed eight new members to the organization through the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.
Of the eight draftees, Carolina selected six forwards and two defenseman, deciding not to add to their goaltending pipeline for the first time since 2013. Three players from the CHL were drafted, four players from Europe and one from US High School hockey. With three selections in the top 53 picks, Carolina again went the best player available route as has been their philosophy in recent drafts. Let’s take a look at what the organization added.
First Round, 13th overall - Seth Jarvis - Center/Wing - Portland Winterhawks - 2/2/2002 - 5-foot-10, 175 pounds
I profiled Jarvis here prior to the draft and he was a player who I thought fit Carolina’s system best of the forwards likely to be available in the the range where the Hurricanes were picking.
