I love this place.
I think I know what you mean? And I agree that people here (myself occasionally incl) have a tendency to overreact. That being said, I am in the same boat as Mike...I'm a little worried.
When you look at the price the B's paid, I would think that a Top 9, 20 goal guy is about what you would expect and right now, Connolly doesn't look like that. I get that it's ONLY preseason, but with the way the B's finished last year you would think that these guys would be coming in with something to prove? Connolly has been outplayed by a number of other wings (Vatrano, Ferlin, even Blidh) and while it is ONLY preseason, those other guys were playing against the same type of competition that BC was, right? If he's not impressing against a mix of NHL/AHL guys, what's he going to look like against a full NHL squad.
I hope that I am wrong and that BC starts to bring it, but I'm concerned.
