Gettleman: Oher can be answer at left tackle

"Michael is a former first-round pick who got his baptism with John Matsko," Gettleman said. "Michael came out of the blocks and played solid. John left after two years, and Andy Moeller was his next position coach, and John had trained Andy. MIchael continued to improve, and in 2012 they won the Super Bowl with him at left tackle. In 2013 they brought in a new O-line coach, and the fit just wasn't good. Then he went to Tennessee and had an injury-plagued year.

"We did our homework on Michael, and we feel very strongly that he can be an answer for us. He'll be inserted at left tackle, and we'll go from there. The other four guys really finished the season strong – (left guard Andrew) Norwell and (center) Ryan (Kalil) and (right guard) Trai (Turner) and (right tackle)

Mike Remmersicon-article-link.gif – and we feel like Michael gives us a chance to really solidify that group."

the backup plan will be to draft a guy in the 4th or 5th round

The draft is certainly the preferred option, maybe the only option this year. What round is anyone's guess as it depends on the value. At least he will go after some UDFA's, right?

      Canes vs Islanders 7pm

      Miller didn't get the player or the puck ... Liability on the ice.  Teams are starting to pursue him behind the net and aggressively chase him down.  Slow and awkward ... Something needs to be done if this continues to the playoffs.

      That said, I was silently hoping the Canes would go after him in free agency a couple years ago. I still think several guys on the Islander roster would fit well in Raleigh.

      Giannis

      I was initially a fan of going after Giannis.  But looking at this draft class and some others that could be available via trade - I think I’m leaning towards staying the course. The OKC model is land on your draft picks, develop your stars and depth, and stockpile future picks. Especially as a smaller market, we can’t afford paying everyone like superstars.  Coby will need to get paid this offseason.  Miler will need a new contract soon, as well as Moose and Miles.  And then you gotta pay Kon at some point and the other rookies. Our depth right now really sets apart - especially when injuries inevitably happen. If we can get someone like Yaxel or Koa Peat (both playing tonight) and another big, we should be set for a long time.
