Carolina Hurricanes: Martin Necas leads Canes’ class of prospects

Other Prospects Lighting it Up

Stelios Mattheos is still doing very well in the WHL, the 19-year-old winger and captain of the Brandon Wheat Kings currently has 30G+31A through 40 games. He is a name to keep an eye on, as it is likely he will get a chance to sign and play with Charlotte later this season.

Meanwhile in the WHL, Brendan De Jong is easily on pace for a career year, despite currently being injured. The defenseman has 6G+13A through 35 games, but it’s hard to say whether or not this will be enough to earn a spot with the Checkers. It will most likely depend on how he finishes his season.

Those guys in Harvard

Jack Drury still seems to be playing very well for his first season in the NCAA. Through 16 games, he has 6G+10A. He also represented Team USA at the WJC, although he did go scoreless in 7 games.

Adam Fox. What can I say about Fox that hasn’t been said ad nauseam? He is the definition of a points machine. Through 17 games, he has 7G-17A for 24 points. For those of you doing the math at home, that’s roughly 1.41 points per game, on average. That puts Fox at 3rd in the entire NCAA in that respective category. Additionally, Fox has been nominated for the 2019 Hobey Baker Award. If you feel so inclined, you should consider giving him your vote for this award. He is definitely deserving.

That concludes our latest prospects coverage – come back in a few weeks’ time to see how many of our prospects will be fighting for championships with their respective teams. Hopefully by then we’ll have more word on whether Adam Fox will sign with the Canes, and see whether Martin Necas can continue to turn heads in Charlotte.
