there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Tampa Bay gives Connolly away at this point. They left him in the A for the full year so that he could grow into his role in the NHL. This was not punishment, this was the development that the youngster needed. He acclimated himself well, as the second leading scorer in Syracuse, and he'll be a key piece to the puzzle in Tampa within the next two seasons. Ellis would be a nice piece for a team looking for a right handed shooting power play specialist, but it's doubtful he's as good a fit with the Bolts as he is with the Preds/Ads.
