With Dougie Hamilton recently being named the sole representative for the Carolina Hurricanes for the All Star game in St. Louis, one can’t help but wonder why was he the only one?

First off, a massive congratulations to Dougie Hamilton on being named an NHL All Star for the first time in his career. He is extremely deserving of this honor.  Dougie has had a breakout season At the time of writing, he has recorded 37 points in 41 games and is making a strong case for the Norris Trophy this season.

All that aside the Hurricanes have other players on their roster that have shown themselves to be more than deserving of a trip to St. Louis at the end of January. Could this be a bias against the Hurricanes? Maybe because they are just now on the rise again people aren’t taking them seriously.

The Hurricanes are stacked with talent. But three players in particular stand out in particular. Teuvo Teravainen, Sebastian Aho, and Andrei Svechnikov. These guys, along with Dougie, have been major reasons on why the Hurricanes find themselves with a spot in the top 10 teams in the NHL right now.

Let’s start with our last man in candidate; Turbo.
