Last season when the Carolina Hurricanes decided to shake things up by trading Noah Hanifin and Jeff Skinner, the team made it clear that there was only one untouchable player: Sebastian Aho. Aho dropped to the Hurricanes in the second round at 35th overall, and has made every team that passed on him (some twice!) regret it immensely.
After a relatively slow start to the season last year, he had an incredible second half to finish the year with 29 goals and 65 points, and that carried over to this season where he kicked things off with a 12-game point streak in which he totaled four goals and 17 points.
He was also awarded the Best Forward award at the IIHF World Championship last year, where he put up 18 points in eight games for Finland. The youngster has proven early on in his career that he can do it all on any stage, which makes it even more incredible that he fell so low in the draft.
