Hurricanes General Manager Jim Rutherford has said all along that he’ll give his young forwards every opportunity to make the team. That appears to be especially true with two of his most recent acquisitions: Jeff Skinner and Riley Nash.
Following the team’s recent conditioning camp, which
served to pleasantly confirm previously-held beliefs about the
group as a whole, Rutherford believes those two will have an
excellent chance to be with the Hurricanes when they open the
2010-11 season in Helsinki.
”At the conditioning camp, you could see a special skill
level in certain players,” said
Rutherford. “Clearly, Skinner and Nash were guys that
really stood out. It wouldn’t surprise me if both of
these guys made our team.”
