The AHL unveiled its 2024-25 Top Prospect Team on Wednesday with a pair of top Carolina Hurricanes prospects — Bradly Nadeau and Scott Morrow — being named to the team.
The chosen players are selected by the league's hockey operations department in conjunction with AHL general managers as the prospects projected to be the best future NHL players.
To qualify, players must have been 22 years old or younger on the first day of the regular season and must have played in at least 36 regular season AHL games and no more than 30 NHL games.
Nadeau, 19, led all AHL rookies in goals this season with 32 — becoming just the fifth player in AHL history to score at least 30 goals as a teenager — and was also second in points with 58 in 64 games.
The 2023 first-round pick was named to the 2024-25 AHL All-Rookie Team as well and registered his first career NHL point as well in the final games of the regular season.
Morrow, 22, had 13 goals and 39 points in 52 AHL games this season and was a top power play quarterback for the Wolves.
The 2021 second-round pick played in 14 regular season games for Carolina this season, registering a goal and six points, and also played in all five games against the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference Final as well.

The other players selected to the team include Konsta Helenius (Rochester Americans/Buffalo Sabres), Dalibor Dvorsky (Springfield Thunderbirds/St. Louis Blues), Logan Mailloux (Laval Rockets/Montreal Canadiens) and Jet Greaves (Cleveland Monsters/Columbus Blue Jackets).
