I would also find it positive to give a young player the chance to shine and show in a completely different team and position. Aho playing 1C in WHC for Finland certainly didn't turn out as a bad deal for the organization.At this point the chances are high he will be allowed to go to the WJC. Only way I see Necas not being released is if they call him up to the NHL and he starts piling up points.
Canes want to boost Necas’s confidence and get him big minutes. WJC should provide both.
Definitely looks to be a value pick. I wonder if the organization sees him as a C or RW. I think a line with three forwards who can all play center would have benefits. Perhaps Martinook/Wallmark/Mattheos in a year or two.Stelio Mattheos quietly is tied for second position in WHL with 21 goals in 25 games. Not that bad for 3rd round pick. Let's hope he's another gem. I was impressed with Geekie last season.
1 goal 2 assists for adam fox tonight. 20 points in 9 games. unreal
This kid might be something seriously special. If he’s playing in the NHL and not wearing a Canes uniform it’s going to be quite upsetting.
Yup. Sign ELC with Canes next spring and play a game and he's done with his ELC 30.6.2020, a month and a half earlier than he would hit his Draft-related UFA and sign his ELC with someone else.Canes can offer him a 2 year acceleration to his ELC versus anyone else. If the Canes want Fox on their team they are going to have to roll out the red carpet, maximize his incentives, and (most importantly) remove the glut of RHD ahead of him. They would be very foolish to hinder this opportunity, the last NCAA player to look this skilled was Gaudreau (who similarly had a devisive reception among fans of prospects).
I just hope him and Drury become bros. I think that's our best shot.
That's bull****, he deserves more AHL starts, not going to the ECHL. He's being forced out by Darling and an underperforming Needaspellcheck. Are we trying to ruin his development?
Velucci too smart to continuously start a floundering Darling. Booth will be back to get his chance once Darling proves he can’t even be a decent AHLer which is a pretty safe bet.
What's the potential of Morgan Geekie?

I didn’t think he lacked talent as much as skating ability. He looked behind just about everyone else I saw in those videos, but I haven’t caught any of his games yet.Drury has 11 points in 9 games as a freshman. Pretty good start for a guy a few around here thought had no offensive talent in camp.
