"Aho has long been the best player on the Hurricanes, leading the team in scoring in every season but one dating all the way back to 2017-18. He generates an average of 76 points per 82-game season, with a career best of 89 points in 2023-24, and sits third in franchise history with 631 points in 677 total games played."
"Take it from Vegas Golden Knights forward Mitch Marner who sung high praise for the Finnish forward, telling NHL.com that "Aho's not new to the scene but I think people are really starting to realize who he is and how good he is. He's been good for a long time but, maybe being in that market, maybe he's not as well-known as he should be.""
A poll of 27 NHL players identified Sebastian Aho (three votes) and Gustav Forsling (two votes) as the most underrated skaters. Aho has led the Hurricanes in scoring in every season but one since 2017-18, averages 76 points per 82 games, posted a career-best 89 points in 2023-24, and ranks third in franchise history with 631 points in 677 games. When Aho was on the ice at 5-on-5 last season, Carolina controlled possession 60.1% of the time, outshot opponents by 102 SOG and out-chanced them by 186. Forsling anchored Florida's top pairing with Aaron Ekblad and played a key defensive role in playoff matchups that limited Aho's effectiveness.
