I don’t know if it’s been said but Sheena Quick in twitter made it a point to tweet the departure time for CLE flight back home (8pm). Maybe a decision will be made by then? 

Depends if he's actually meeting with the Falcons tomorrow or not. You've seen Verge say today was the day. You've seen its a 2 horse race. Now we've seen 2 more teams enter into thjs at the 11th hour. 

 

I do think it's a bit absurd to not have a ticking clock here on this one but could also see not wanting to push Watson or rush him if you just sat there with him and your pitch was more or less "we will worship the ground you walk on"

What are they going to trade away? How are they going to make the cap work? They're in one of the tighter cap spots in the league. They get a $16M penalty if they trade Lance. They don't have a first round pick until 2024. 

It's a virtual impossibility now. Last offseason? Great fit. But circumstances change. 

If they're a fan of Lance, it could work. New franchise QB on a rookie deal and a couple pieces or picks to go with. I can see it.

    • 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.
