The top of the Carolina system is headlined by two fantastic talents in Andrei Svechnikov and Martin Necas. After them a talented AHL club leads to an organization with high-end talent and very good depth to plug holes down the lineup. All their AHL players and upcoming good junior players help, but Svechnikov/Necas are the types of guys Carolina needs now, game-breaking forwards.
