The Carolina Hurricanes once again went big on upside in this year's draft, swinging for the fences on a lot of undersized, but high-skill prospects.
Players like Bradly Nadeau, Jayden Perron and Timur Mukhanov all have tremendous upside, yet slid down the board due to their size.
Of their 10 draft picks, seven were forwards, two were netminders and one was a defenseman.
The Canes also drafted five Russians, an area where they hope to find value as many teams have shied away from players from that region of the world.
Here's a short writeup on every draft pick the Hurricanes made this year:
- F - Bradly Nadeau
- F - Felix Unger Sorem
- F - Jayden Perron
- F - Alexander Rykov
- F - Stanislov Yarovoi
- D - Charles-Alexis Legault
- G - Ruslan Khazheyev
- F - Timur Mukhanov
- F - Michael Emerson
- G - Yegor Velmakin
