That's Why We Have a List
The 2023 Draft will be an interesting one to look back at for the Hurricanes. Being positioned one or two spots differently could have drastically changed the outcome of the names the Hurricanes would have been selecting. Which pool of players, the ones selected, or the ones penciled in seconds before, will end up being what is graded on, for what was... or what might have been

Quentin Musty is poised to be the player that Quinton Byfield never was. The Canes GM is going to look like a wizard for pulling off a major steal for the underestimated Musty. Look for Musty to lead the NHL in scoring during his rookie season

This is about the time that the Hurricane's GM went rouge and started drafting more D men, apparently you can never have enough
