Hey there! I just read about the Carolina Hurricanes' prospects, and I have to say, I'm really excited about Alexander Rykov and Yegor Velmakin. Rykov's ability to bounce back from injury and still be a top producer on his team at such a young age is impressive. It shows his resilience and skill, which are crucial for any player looking to make it in the NHL.

And Velmakin's performance as a goaltender in the KHL is something to keep an eye on. A .923 save percentage is no joke, especially for a young goalie. His creativity in training, like that hand-eye coordination exercise, shows he's dedicated to improving his game.

The Hurricanes have been smart in their drafting strategy, focusing on depth and potential. It’s exciting to see how these young players develop. Do you think Rykov will make it back to the KHL this season? And what are your thoughts on Velmakin's future?
