12. Carolina Hurricanes – Elias Pettersson (C/LW, Timra IK, Allsvenskan)
Scoring at almost a point per game pace in Sweden’s junior league, Pettersson is looking like a sure thing as we draw closer to the 2017 draft.
Scouts have pegged him as an agile and crafty two way forward who can also provide lots of offense. He doesn’t really have a weakness in his game and if the Hurricanes select him at 12, he’ll join Sebastian Aho as another flashy forward prospect.
