Thank god you're not the gm

Connoly has similar AHL production to Sven, but far less NHL production. I wouldn't do Sven straight up for him by any means.

Yzerman is a very smart GM. Tampa Bay is very, very lucky to have him. Good trade for the Lightning

And injured

@TSNAaronWard: More bad news for Boston Bruins. Brett Connolly takes shot to hand in practice and the initial results show its broken. #TSN

@GlobeFluto: Brett Connolly is out 6 weeks. Broken finger in right hand.

Ouch. Feel worse for Connolly than Boston. Looked like he's finally get a chance at a starring role

That was a pretty big overpayment for what is otherwise a completely unproven player. Where do these hype machines originate from?

Curtis Glencross, a 32 year old UFA with 9 goals, returned a 2nd and a 3rd
Brett Connolly, a 22 year old with 12 goals, returned two 2nd's.

It's not an overpayment in the slightest.

Wow... Brutal for the Bruins. That being said I hope the Panthers overtake them soon
