MID SEASON SURPRISE EVALAUTION COMPLETED IN CAROLINA
Carolina
After a massive re-evaluating of the junior prospects, the Carolina Hurricanes still feel they have amassed some solid depth over the past couple of drafts.
“The real notables that surprised us in our mid season evaluation was the drop off of play from Jonathan Boutin, Stephen Dixon and Jeff Glass,” said junior coach and general manager Craig Harstburg. “We have Glassy in a bit of a puck control clinic this week in hopes to help him sort through this minor set back. Jeff is a real good young goalie and he has a real talent, but he needs to be refined a bit. We have nothing but hope for him though. He has number 1 written all over him.”
Stephen Dixon came as of a surprise to many, whose play has had an obvious drop off since the beginning of the year. The aggressive winger, who’s pride in defensive play outweight his natural offensive skill, has shown he is capable, but yet finds himself more of a plug on most nights. He has also found himself in the press box due to his lack of enthusiasm.
“We will shape him around, no worries,” said Hartsburg. “He just needs a bit of internal direction. He’ll find it.”
Of note, Mario Scalzo Jr. came out of the evaluations with a brand new lease on life. The smallish defender with big time wheels and a knack for executing a fast break out was able to put on a bit of a clinic of his own by showing off his talents. The youngster may very well make his mark with the organization sometime in the near future.
