The Carolina Hurricanes have the # five pick in the draft and they can go in any direction they would like to. Prospects at just about every position will be available. The Hurricanes need help on the wings, they need help and depth on defense, and they need to start developing depth at goaltender. These issues cannot be solved in one draft or even free agency so General Manager Ron Francis has his work cut out for him. At #5 the draft is wide open for him.
The Carolina Hurricanes top draft prospects are:
1. Lawson Crouse Left Wing Kingston OHL
2. Noah Hanifin Defenseman Boston College
3. Mitch Marner Right Wing London OHL
4. Mikko Rantanen Right Wing Finland
5. Pavel Zacha Center Sarnia OHL
6. Ivan Provorov Defenseman Brandon WHL
7. Dylan Strome Center Erie OHL
One or two of these players could be gone by the time the Hurricanes make their selection. They will still have quality players to choose from in what is thought to be one of the deepest drafts in years and some of this group may be able to step in and play right away.
