I kinda wondering what him and his agent are asking for his services. I know he's alittle on the fragile side but I thought he would have been gone by now. Maybe he's asking for to much. Any news????

He's probably "Plan B" for a lot of teams, and will probably get signed in the upcoming days.

We actually have room to keep him if he signs for about 2.5 mil. He's worth that much for a 3rd line C with the PK ability he has. I know he'd like to stay also, and we do have another forward spot if Buffalo wants to keep 14 forwards.

Think its just time to sever ties with him. He was a mess offensively last year.

All you who want him at $2.5M a season forget how much of a turnover machine he was last year. He's a center who can't take draws and is good on the PK.

We have enough centers who don't have enough offensive punch.

With Ehrhoff, Connolly wouldn't get put on the point on the PP, but I doubt he takes that much of a pay cut anyway. I won't be concerned if he moves on, but I'm worried about having Adam as the top center depth.

I think Connolly is someone who would really benefit from a change of scenery.

I just don't see how we can keep him, maybe i'm alone here but I thought last year was sort of the final 'show us what you can do with a full season' chance for him, and that he failed pretty utterly to return to that spectacular form we saw before the concussion. Time to sever ties, good luck to him wherever he goes.
