Carolina Hurricanes

2015 NHL Entry Draft – Carolina Hurricanes

INS: Noah Hanifin (Pick 5, Boston College, H.East), Sebastian Ahol (Pick 35, Karpat, FIN), Callum Booth (Pick 93, Quebec, QMJHL), Nicolas Roy (Pick 96, Chicoutmi, QMJHL), Luke Stevens (Pick 126, Noble & Greenough, HIGH-MA), Spencer Smallman (Pick 138, Saint John, QMJHL), Jake Massie (Pick 156, Kimball Union, HIGH-NH), David Cotton (Pick 169, Cushing Academy, HIGH-MA), Steven Lorentz (Pick 186, Peterborough, OHL), Eddie Lack (Vancouver Canucks), James Wisniewski (Anaheim Ducks)

OUTS: Anton Khudobin (Anaheim Ducks)

Eddie Lack is a massive improvement on Anton Khudobin and will help Cam Ward in net. Wisniewski is a nice addition to their D, with Hanifin possibly joining him in the NHL next season. Not as much of an impact as other teams, but still a nice enough gain in the draft.

2015 DRAFT RATING: B+
