He's a good player and I would love to see him stay, but make the contract short so that if things don't work out the future isn't all doom and gloom either.<BR/><BR/>I'd risk another one or two years at Connolly's current pay...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-53814723105447503232009-02-09T13:43:00.000-05:002009-02-09T13:43:00.000-05:00Trading Connolly is a bad idea.

Particularly a point per game player with a checkered (isn't that generous) injury history. Plus, with the recent long term injury to a particular player, the Sabres need all the points they can attain.<BR/><BR/>By the way, Jason Pominville, now would be a nice time to find your scoring (on-ice) touch again.

I honestly want to re-sign him now and I'm still shaking my head as I type this!Mark Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04495690715950782958noreply@blogger.com
