Hurricanes' Victor Rask: Career season in 205-16

Rask (shoulder) had 21 goals in 2015-16, good for second on the Hurricanes. His 48 points was also good for second on the team (tied with Jordan Staal) and a career-high.

Analysis:

With the decline and eventual departure of Eric Staal this season, Rask emerged as one of the Canes' top two centers along with the younger Jordan. At just 23 years old, the fact that Rask is coming close to the 50-point mark on a mediocre Hurricanes team is impressive -- on just about any other team, Rask would likely have 60-70 point potential. Rask is expected to have minor shoulder surgery this offseason, but is fully expected to be ready to go once training camps open in the fall. Don't overlook him at your fantasy drafts next season.
