Kyle "Skinny Neck" Connor

[Guyute]

During the Jets-Rangers game the other night, Joe Micheletti told a story about Kyle Connor and the 2015 draft. Apparently, one team's scout really wanted to draft Connor but a member of upper management refused to take him because his neck was "too skinny". Micheletti refused to name the team and the person responsible for passing on Connor for such a ridiculous reason.

Does anyone know the team? It had to be the Bruins right? They had three picks in a row (13-15) before the Jets took Connor at 17.

The GM was just planning for the inevitable future of selling ad space on mandatory neck guards and charging by the square inch

finally we get the reason they passed on him all these years later

I think he also got a crooked nose

What an effort to take a jab at the Bruins 2015 Draft.

Joe Michelitti likes hearing himself talk and if you believe that story i'd like to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge

Jets fan here. Yes he has a skinny neck to go along with his pea head. And we wouldn’t change anything about him.

So Don Sweeney has a thing for strong necks

Maybe he is interested in a trade for the strongest neck in the league

We did some research into that on HFJets during the game. I don't like the Bruins option, since their last and most baffling pick of the 3 was Senyshyn, and his neck is no thicker than Connor's.

Now Lawson Crouse in the other hand. That's a neck you can believe in.

Also Kyle Connor was the 2015 draft

Not 2017

Sorry..my brain is fried from coding and I somehow combined the "2015 draft" and the "17th pick" into the "2017 draft".

I think Knies has the strongest neck.

He'd be 5'10" with a normal neck.

Was Brian Burke working in an nhl front office at the time? Sounds like something he’d base a draft pick on
