Salter Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 We're back for the 2nd annual CDC Draft Rankings! General Information As per normal, the vote will be specific to the team drafting in that slot, you will have 10 players to choose from in the vote (starting with the top 10 players ranked in the ISS Top 30 draft eligible players) . Make your choice not only by skill, but by team needs as well. Every couple of days I will create a new thread with the results of the vote, and a new vote for the next team. I will also post information about the next 5 players in the ISS top 30. Below the team's logo, you can click to see their current prospects over at Hockey's Future to have more organizational insight. Enjoy and make sure to come back for each vote! (Remember that you're voting for what team will pick who in their position. Not just what team should draft what player.) Congratulations to Noah Hanifin for being selected 4th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs! Who will the Carolina Hurricanes draft 5th overall? Current Hurricanes Prospects According to the ISS Rankings, these are the next top 5 draft eligible players. 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 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 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 Draft Order 1. Edmonton - Connor McDavid 2. Buffalo - Jack Eichel 3. Arizona - Dylan Strome 4. Toronto - Noah Hanifin 5. Carolina - 6. New Jersey - 7. Philadelphia - 8. Columbus - 9. San Jose - 10. Colorado - 11.

Nas19 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Gonna go with Marner. But Carolina likes drafting d-men and I wouldn't be too shocked if they picked Provorov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Stammer- Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Provorov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7Nucks Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 With the Staals there (For now) I gotta go with Crouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggy Bank Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Im thinking Marner, but i picked Crouse because i don't want Marner to be the next Skinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Provorov This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Crouse. Hurricanes add size and already have good Center depth so marner isn't a quality option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSwede Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Lawson Crouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Considering their C depth atm Crouse or Provorov. Hard to pass up on Marner though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herberts Vasiljevs Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I went with Mikko Rantanen. Flame on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 The Canes biggest issue begins on the back end. If Hanifin isn't available, they should take Provorov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
