LW Sebastian Aho (2015, 35th, CAR) II

[DaveG]

He needs a finisher to get those assists up.

Wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Goat plays that role for us and for Aho long-term.

not a prospect

 

[Halla]

I know he isn't prospect anymore but many of us have been following him for a while now and he doesn't seem to receive much attention on the main board. Aho scored his 19th and 20th goals of the year last night to tie and then win the game.

What kind of offensive ceiling does he have (now that we've seen him in the league)?

he has probably been the 7th best rookie.

Carolina should be thrilled they nabbed kid like this in the 2nd rd, should have been a top 10 pick

As far as point production, that's true. But #3 in goals by a rookie and, arguably, nearly as valuable to his team as anybody else on the list.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

If he hadn't taken about 15+ games to get accustomed to the NHL....

First 16 games: 0G, 7A, 7 pts, -1
Last 48 games: 20G, 11A, 31 pts, + 3

And this is on one of the worst scoring teams in the NHL. It's not a high scoring team like Toronto and WPG.

Stealing a quote from the Canes GDT on Thursday night:

I aint even mad if Aho hurts our draft positioning, watching him score is fun.

So true, happy to have him in Carolina. He's going to be a very important player for us going forward.

Hope y'all win a lottery position. Already have an elite looking back-end going forward. Just need a couple more elite pieces up front.

We were in fantastic position to do this 2 years ago but they had to go on a useless winning streak towards the end of the season
