Connor at 15 could be a solid pickup, but video of kid dangling around crap opposition and going through cones doesn't exactly do it for me.
Pretty sure that would be a yard sale in the AHL or NHL is saying it might not transfer to the NHL. Arguing it isn't is just a matter of semantics.

Connor is playing in the NCAA, isn't he? So he is playing against full grown men, not just kids in the CHL. Dangling a 22 year old man, or older, is a lot harder than an 18 or 19 year old kid. To me that is a lot more impressive than someone like Crouse playing with a physical advantage over more than half of his opposition.
