How many points?

He did play 70 games last year.
Not bad for him.

 

[Dangles McGavin]

Quite the thread title.

99pts minimum.

I was thinking that this could be the first time Connolly would play a full season.

He's had some bad luck, but he needs to become less of a bandaid.

I think he plays 37 games, with some due to injury and the others as a healthy scratch.

This guy could be in a winner takes all game 7 death match and he would be playing at a sunday pick up effort level yet somehow be completely drenched in sweat. Nice guy though

 

[Rielly Good]

Hahaha

 

[Mansfield]

omg great gif, can't believe I've never seen that before!

48 game season, will be happy if timmay plays 30

 

[crump]

Funny. Lets change the title to avoid confusion.

I honestly thought he was injured again.

 

[IBLEAF]

Good one!!!

 

[ForSpareParts*]

Hahahaha Oh My God that Gif!

I can't stop laughing.

Carlyle liked using him in more of a defensive role it seems.

It all depends where he is put, but I wouldn't expect too many points out of him, and you can't count on his health either. Total wildcard.

 

[CerebralDevil]

Tim get 213pts

 

[BudMaster17]

I'm pissing myself

I think Timmy needs some real motivation at this point in his career to produce. A contract year has the potential to bring him up to the level where he could be a decent stop gap first line centre.

Remember last season Timmy had a really good first 25 games or so, then he decided to disappear for the rest of the season for whatever reason. He can be a legit top six centre when he wants to, I think he just forgets how sometimes.

I'm calling 40 points. 9 goals, 31 assists. Then he gets some other bonehead GM to hand him an unwarranted contract this summer.

He looked good under Randy Carlyle in a checking role.

Um.. 4 million dollars???

 

[Kessely Snipes]

Wow never seen that gif before, hahaha.

 

[LeafsNation75]

All I can say is the more games Connolly can stay healthy and not get injured should be a major improvement. I don't want to guess how many goals he could get until we see him play injury free, assuming that can happen.

 

[12345*]

lmao that gif is epic.

He looked good under Randy Carlyle in a checking role.

He is the Leafs 3rd highest paid forward and 4th highest paid player overall on the team. At $4.75 mil and injury prone that doesn't look good as a utility forward and depth player.

Timmy is lucky for his sake that amnesty buyouts don't cut in until next year and then he will have already completed his Leafs contract, otherwise he might have been unemployed soon and handed his walking papers early.

Tim Connolly put up 36 points in 70 games last season and so in 1/2 a year he might be good for 20ish.

Good point, I could see him having an up year cuz if he has another down year I don't think he'll get an NHL contract for next season.

 

[pspot]

I picked him off waivers in my fantasy league so hoping he does produce to his talents

 

[613Leafer]

I hope so. Up his value prior to the trade-deadline... IMO he's clearly not part of the long-term core. Best case scenario is he plays super hot, and we can get a good piece or two for him.
