That's actually cool to know. Morrow and KConn can both bomb it. Feel bad for anybody Texas plays now!
Oleksiak can get it there in a hurry too

yes... with these moves, gm joe making a run for the playoffs... for the texas stars! it'll be interesting to follow for us. and perhaps ritchie can pull a jamie benn and dominate for 'em, too.
From someone who watched Connauton regularly in the AHL: you have a project on your hands but with a possibility of great rewards if things go just right.
The biggest problem for Connauton is that he's only truly a positive factor for 15-20 games a year. He has a big shot but he's not a puck moving D, more of a puck rushing one (and even then not the best at it). He does play physical and skates pretty well. He needs to keep developing his other offensive tools outside of his shot. His hockey IQ and decision making are suspect (at best). He's at his best when he's trying to push the pace, taking risks, etc.
In the games that he's truly on he can be a very good player and can control the game at the AHL level but then he'll go on a streak of 20 games where you wish he wasn't even on your team. I think some consideration should be given to having him play wing but that's just my opinion.
I like Oleksiak's shot because he can do it with a wrister or a slapper, and he's very smart about when he uses it and where he places it.
Brent Burns lite?
That was more of a joke than an actual comparison with the whole "he should be a winger" thing.
You mean you've never watched Trevor Daley, ever?
**** it trade Robidas put Connauton next to Dillon.
Is there reason to be excited about Roy?

He's a fine player. He's not as good as he was a few seasons ago. It seems like he might still be recovering from his shoulder injury. I don't know for sure, but every time he's knocked to the ice, he stays down fairly long, like he's in some real pain.Is there reason to be excited about Roy?
Joe Morrow, Kevin Connauton, Alex Goligoski and someone right handed..
Our future blueline on the PP is looking like it's going to be lethal.
