The odds of us keeping Klein are slim.  Seriously doubt that he'll stay here.   He is a good linebacker and should garner a lot of attention in the off season.

I believe playing time has a factor in compensatory picks.  Could we be allowing Luke extra time to recover and giving Klein more playing time to possibly increase our compensation when (if) he signs with another team?

There is no conspiracy around concussions. That's one injury you can't fake or come back from until cleared. 

Agreed....  Sorry I was traveling over the weekend and was only able to see the game and that Luke wasn't playing.  Last I saw he was back at practice so I assumed he was cleared and we just sat him for another week.

I'm not so sure about that. No one is Luke but he had decent coverage on Crabtree and Walford but Carr threw good passes. Not many systems require their LBers to be one on one on premier WRs like ours does. Remember Julio's long TD when they beat us last year? Luke had great coverage but the pass was perfect. But again how many defenses have LBers covering Julio 50 yards downfield? I don't think Klein is bad in coverage but he isn't Luke and in most defenses the MLB isn't covering Julio or Crabtree way downfield.

Also, correcting above. The primary part of compensatory picks is the contract yearly salary. They may tinker with the pick round if the player is a bust or makes the pro-bowl, but the new salary is the primary driver and some web sites have the levels down and they are fairly accurate.

Not many teams require their LB to cover Julio, bc they draft and sign DBs. We don't.

Everyone thought he was gold as our backup until he signed with the Cowboys and didnt do anything.

Connor was not gold. WTH is wrong with you. The dude was trash that's why we let him go. Dallas knew they weren't getting a starter in Connor. I swear some of y'all either throw poo randomly to see if it'll stick on the wall or hear voices.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
