He has good foot speed and he is 6'3. He can certainly drive possession with his frame. No hes not Mack but we need to get bigger and faster on more lines than 1. It allows us to upgrade the wing at a low cost so we can use our picks + Brodie, etc. to get a 1C. we need to improve in both areas. He's just entering his prime its a good opportunity to buy low and improve the roster.

Also, when I watch Connolly skate, the first thing that comes to mind is not fast. He’s a good player, more of a support guy. But after the Neal and Brouwer and Raymond signings, the organization needs to stay away from risky UFAs. To me, if we’re going to look at more UFAs, then the organization has to look at guys who can drive lines because they can’t afford anymore mistakes.
