Current Hurricanes Prospects

According to the ISS Rankings, these are the next top 5 draft eligible players.

8evBBOl.jpg

A big-bodied power winger with the ability to physically dominate, making him a prominent forechecking presence every night. Possesses good hands that can be used to make crisp passes or to let loose accurate, NHL-level shots; paired with his strength and skating ability, his skill set allows him to contribute offensively, as well as create space for teammates. Source

1r4yjIl.jpg

A dynamic offensive forward that backchecks hard and establishes his presence through playing smart, puck-possession hockey. A very quick skater gifted with great hands and hockey sense. Battles hard in all three zones and shows a willingness to do whatever it takes to get the puck to the back of the net; an unselfish player. Embodies the definition of a dynamic number-generating machine who makes the players around him better. Source

An exceptionally talented playmaker and always a consistent threat on the ice; Rantanen is a combination of elite-level hockey sense, silky smooth hands, and nimble skating. Needs to improve his shot and physical play, as he doesn't take advantage of his size in many situations. All-in-all, an intelligent, big-bodied forward that oozes skill. Source

Matthew Barzal is an offensive forward with very good skating abilities. Has tremendous puck-handling and is poised with the puck, while looking for the perfect pass-option using his strong vision. Owns an excellent wrist shot with a remarkable release. Barzal reads the plays well, looking for interceptions and is not afraid to block shots, playing a reliable two-way game. A complete player with strong hockey sense. Source

B1q5B3v.jpg

An offensively gifted defenceman who can direct the game's pace when the puck is on his stick. Provorov is a quick and agile skater with an accurate release on his shot, which he can get off anywhere below the blue line; creates many chances on the power play and can even create offense during the penalty kill. Is an adroit and creative passer who knows how to use his teammates well. All-in-all, a complete defenceman who knows how goals are scored and executes accordingly. Source

I remember that the biggest complaint for the Canes was that they lacked size and a player that can physically dominate the game.

The Canes love two way players that can play all situations and would love to add more size on the wings considering they are a smallish team as they ice Skinner, Gerbe...they will want to look to a guy like Lawson Crouse

I still expect Carolina to pick Noah Hanifin with this pick because I believe the Leafs will go after Marner with the previous pick.

either way,

If Hanifin is off the board, I can see the Hurricanes going for Lawson Crouse. They can afford to pass on Marner because of their depth on center and pick up a hulking winger that they lack.
