July 2025- Cerrato heard his name called by the Carolina Hurricanes with their 49th selection. Cerrato was a two-time draft reentry, so certainly being chosen comes with some relief for the young man. He has developed some offense that wasn’t as apparent in his previous drafts. Despite seeing a 12 goal, 38 assists and 71 penalty minute season in the USHL in his first reentry year, he followed it up in 2024-2025 with a 15 goal, 27 assist and 58 penalty minute campaign as an NCAA rookie.

He is a little older than most players would be at this stage of their draft and development arc, so managers will need to see if these increases are coming too late, but he makes for a good story, and is well worth watching as he continues his collegiate career. Alex Wyatt
