Yeah, I think he'll come up and force the team to keep him up this year, kind of like Killorn did.
Shocked Connolly didn't stay he looked amazing in preseason. Do you think he will be back up this year or is he in the AHL for the year?
So this is our opening night roster:
Forwards (13):
9 Tyler Johnson
11 Tom Pyatt
12 Ryan Malone
16 Teddy Purcell
17 Alex Killorn
19 B.J. Crombeen
26 Martin St. Louis
44 Nate Thompson
51 Valtteri Filppula
71 Richard Panik
74 Ondrej Palat
76 P.C. Labrie
91 Steven Stamkos
Defensemen (8):
2 Eric Brewer
3 Keith Aulie
6 Sami Salo
7 Radko Gudas
8 Mark Barberio
25 Matt Carle
77 Victor Hedman
Goaltenders (2):
30 Ben Bishop
39 Anders Lindback
IR (2):
5 Mattias Ohlund
15 Brian Lee
Connolly will get his chance. You need veterans like Malone and since he most likely won't play a full 82 game season anyway it's all good. I feel for Brett though.I did not see this coming. Connolly absolutely deserved a spot. I don't see how you don't trade Malone to open a spot for the kid.
Panther fan here, I'm actually surprised Kucherov didn't stick. I thought he looked great in the games against us.
It's shocking that Killorn and Gudas made it? What?
Fixed (oh the excitement).Plus Sustr.
I hope Sustr, Panik and Palat get real numbers now.

you really read it that way? I mean really get a clue.
They are rookies too primarily is what was saying jesus.
I understand that, but everyone in the organization knows the problem with Connolly is his confidence. To put up the best performance in the entire camp and still get sent down is deflating for anyone.
Oh I'm with you. I hope they make sure he knows why he was sent down and that it has nothing to do with his performance but rather with contractual / roster flexibility.I understand that, but everyone in the organization knows the problem with Connolly is his confidence.

Yzerman said the Johnson, Palat, Panik line was the reason Connolly was sent down, but expects Connolly to be a Syracuse leader.

Interesting addition was Sustr. Lightning keeping 8 on the blue line with Barberio. "He skated well, good hockey sense," Y said of Sustr.
