Dude our drafts since 2018 have been complete poo. Hurney got a couple 1st rounders and after that it’s been poo. I wouldn’t be incorrect in saying we may have the worst drafts in the league in the past 3 drafts and it doesn’t seem like it’s getting better. Our scouting department is bottom of the barrel, period.

Good point!! I I think I was being blinded by all the laser eyes Mims Fitterer was supposedly making for the team!!

Trevin Wallace

LB, UK

6-2 / 241lbs

Grade Analysis

No grade analysis available.

Rating: 70.80 (Part-time contributor)
Pro Comparison: Kaden Elliss
Summary

Trevin Wallace is a stocky-ish but springy off-ball LB. Fast when he wants to be but really struggles beating blocks to the football. Will overtly avoid blocks to take himself out of the play on a routine basis. Not around the football much in coverage but demonstrated a keen sense of sinking in zone and has the athletic chops to run with TEs and RBs in man. That type of plus explosive athlete. Just doesn't always fully tap into it. Hip fluidity is good. Quality tackler. Rare to see a miss on film. Just needs to play with more authority/passion when tracking the football against the run. Has the explosiveness to be a stud blitzer but way too timid in those situations. Flexibility is lacking to work around the edges of blockers. Flashes of athleticism to be a good three-down 'backer in the NFL. Needs to crank the intensity tracking the football.

Strengths
  • Serious juice to the football when he sees his target
  • Fluid enough to sink in coverage
  • Awesome tackler
Weaknesses
  • Has huge problems beating blocks / tries to avoid them
  • Needs to play with more passion and energy

Dan Morgan was calling the shots before this draft? Weird, I thought it was some other guy.

You want to believe Dan Morgan wasn't putting the boards together? Ok. Morgan just sat back and watched as he let everyone else scout & write reports, right?

Asst GM just gets the coffee & drives the players around?

Wait, so this guy’s weaknesses are that he tries to avoid blocks, not take them on and beat them, and that he needs to play with more passion and energy?

How does that say “dawg”? Pretty sure Luke was a big Wilson fan. I’d take his word on LBers over Morgan’s, every single day.

      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.
