1 – Sebastian Aho

92 points- 43 goals, 49 assists

No surprises here. There’s a reason (more than one, actually) Montreal went after him this offseason. Aho has had the number one spot for the Hurricanes on lock for a while now, and I don’t think anyone sees him giving that up anytime soon.

Sebastian Aho is one of the fastest-rising players in the NHL right now. His numbers have increased every year he has been in the league, and that isn’t stopping anytime soon. Last season he was invited to the NHL All-Star game for the first time in his career. He also placed 10th in the voting for the Hart Memorial Trophy award for the league’s MVP.

This season, he will be out to show that last season wasn’t a fluke for him or for the Carolina Hurricanes. Aho should also be out to prove that he’s worth every penny of that new contract that he signed. I see Aho being one of the top scorers in the NHL, and who knows, maybe in a few seasons he can sit top that list.

The Hurricanes are stacked top to bottom this season. While some of these picks may have been a bit obvious, others may end up being replaced by someone else once the season gets underway. Only time will tell. But one thing is for certain, with the group of players the Carolina Hurricanes have, the rest of the NHL better Take Warning.
