2023: Bradley Nadeau (LW) 30th Overall 0 GP 0 G 0 A 0 PIM

I think the Hurricanes may have a true steal on their hands with the pick at the end of the first round in 2023.  I am very high on Nadeau as a future difference maker on the ‘Canes roster.  Nadeau is a hardworking, creative player who had an outstanding freshman season at the University of Maine.  While he is a bit undersized, Nadeau possesses a lethal shot. The puck explodes off his stick and he has all the makings of a future top-line sniper and powerplay contributor.  Nadeau should start the season in the AHL this year after signing his entry-level deal, but I wouldn't be shocked to see him have some games with the Hurricanes this upcoming season.
