He's definitely ready for top line AHL time for sure another year at Michigan will do no better than a full year of the A. Might even do worse for his development. He's proven himself in the NCAA it's time to take it to the next level. He needs to start developing his two-way game and from what I hear Berenson isn't very good at helping players develop their two-way games.
I'm not sure he'll be ready. I'd lean towards him spending another season at Michigan.
Hey Whileee. Nice to see you back on your home turf. Talking trades with Leaf fans most have got you a little bug eyed by now.
As usual some are getting ahead of themselves, obviously Connor has a lot better skill set than A guy like Copp (who probably shouldn't be in the NHL right now) but training camp and exhibition will show where he's at.
If he does make it out of pre-season and o to the regular roster, I'll be watching especially closely!
**** yeah, draft and deploy its working good for us this year!
Yep. The only prospect draft and deploy really applies to is Ehlers and he has pretty much solidified himself as a top 6 winger at 19 yo. The way Connor is ripping up the NCAA, he looks to have that kind of high end talent as well. Kids that good need to take the next step against the best.
