Connolly will blossom in boston. He will play on one of our top lines. Will play on one of our powerplay units.
I am very hopeful and he plays well against the habs. Exposes their defence with his speed and shot.
Good acquisition. Talbot will be our Weise of last year. Added grit we needed since the past years. A grittier and better talented Paille in him.

I don't think these estimations are accurate. I've read all over the place he's not a very fast skater. Who is he going to replace from the two PP units? Eriksson? That's where he's actually been effective. I'm not sure that Claude will give him a top 6 role. He'd be replacing one of Smith and Pastrnak, both of whom he seems content to leave where they are for the time being.

He actually kind of fits that Horton/Iggy shoot first RW mold. Claude might make him earn his way up there, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him with Krejci/Looch eventually.

He's #14.

Today's practice lines:

Marchand-Bergeron-Smith
Lucic-Spooner-Pastrnak
Paille-Soderberg-Eriksson
Kelly-Campbell-Ferlin-Connolly

Does this deserves a :shakehead?

Talbot to arrive tonight.

The bright side is he didn't put Kelly between Lucic and Pasta and have Campbell as #4C, but not sure what the plan will be until #46 gets back.

Initially, that's my reaction, but he needs to show what he's got first


I'm sure they'll test him a few different spots, you also have to take into consideration krejci is not back yet

If your not a legit top 3 guy I doubt any team is going to slide you right into the top two lines as soon as they acquire you. I expect Connolly to get extremely sheltered minutes his first few games.

It was his first day with the team. I bet he's up with Marchy and Bergy tomorrow especially with Talbot coming in tonight.
