CC Live from the 2017 NHL Draft
We’re on the scene at United Center as the Canes enter one of the more interesting drafts in recent memory.
What did the Canes get by drafting Necas?
We had Necas going to the Canes in the SBN mock draft. What can Canes fans expect from the Czech center?

If it’s speed down the middle that the Canes are after, Necas is among the surest of bets.
The 2017 CC Mock Draft: Predicting the Unpredictable
Who do we think will head where tomorrow night in Chicago?
2017 Draft Profile: Do you feel lucky with Klim Kostin?
The Russian forward oozes raw talent, but a lack of production and a significant injury could cause him to fall down the draft board.
2017 Draft Profile: Lias Andersson is a solid, safe choice
The first thing you notice about the Swedish center is that his legs never stop moving. Ever.
2017 Draft Profile: Kristian Vesalainen could reward some team’s patience
The sizeable winger would be a good fit on a small Carolina Hurricanes squad, but he is the longest of long-term prospects.
2017 Draft Profile: No one’s going to push Robert Thomas around
A Memorial Cup winner with the London Knights, Thomas made a big splash as a young player with buckets of potential.
2017 Draft Profile: Meet Michael Rasmussen, who is a tall human
Already 6’6” and possessing a soft scoring touch, Rasmussen’s size alone could tempt a team to take him early.
2017 Draft Profile: Eeli Tolvanen likes to shoot the puck, a lot
The Finnish USHL product is a Corsi-for machine, but needs to round out his game before moving up into the professional ranks.
2017 Draft Profile: Suzuki and the Canes could be a great match
The Owen Sound playmaker thrives in puck possession, and that will grab the Canes’ attention.
2017 Draft Profile: Ryan Poehling a long-term project with a high ceiling
Tall and lanky, Poehling is mature beyond his years, evidenced by his early high school graduation and contributions as a freshman at St. Cloud State.
2017 Draft Profile: Fast-rising Makar a hot commodity
Playing in Junior A hockey in Alberta, Makar was off the radar to start the year, but not anymore.
Draft Profile: Cody Glass a perfect fit who likely won’t fall to the Canes
The Canes need a top center. Cody Glass will likely be a top center. There’s a match there, but it depends on what other teams do.
2017 Draft Profile: Liljegren has top-three potential but may drop a bit
The gifted Swedish defenseman is one of the best prospects in the draft but had an uneven season.
2017 Draft Profile: Pettersson could be another Swedish success
The Swedish center still has room to grow, but brings an exciting skill set and could be a key contributor in a few years.

Below the top tier is a group of players who may not project to being all-time greats, but will certainly help the teams who take them on June 23.
