So did Alex Mogilny and he reported to the AHL.

so all year, you guys make the "LACK" joke, and now we get rid of 3/4's of LACK, and you guys are saying we should of kept Connolly?

Bozak/Grabo/Kadri/McClement/Steckel.. who is Connolly better than at 4 mil? top 3? no. and then your 4th line. lol @ Connolly being a 4th liner.

Dude sucks. If he didnt, any of the other 29 teams would of picked him up.

I'm surprised Vancouver didn't take him... although it's a bigger cap hit, they need a center bad

Thats even more reason to report. He needs the moeny at the end of his career.

I would disagree about him sucking, but he certainly isn't worth what he is paid. He'll get moved at some point.

If Connolly's cap hit wasn't so bad he'd have no problem finding a home in the NHL.

Players around the league should take note -

at least, that's how I think it is

And worry that the player they would send down (unless he's waiver-exempt or put on the IR) gets picked up on waivers.

Guaranteed money is better than maybe next contract.

Connolly is a PPG in the AHL, just like Kostka is the Leafs 2nd. best defenseman in the NHL.
