grandmaster Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Tim Connolly not considering retirement Posted on Aug 14 via TheScore.com Tim Connolly is waiting on a contract offer from an NHL club and is not considering retirement, according to his agent J.P. Barry. Speaking to the Syracuse Post-Standard, Barry remains confident that NHL free agency will pick up once teams re-assess their needs heading into training camp. Right now, Tim wants to take some time and find the right situation for himself. He's being patient. I think he's just taking a pause now. He's been through some injuries. He just wants his body to heal. I think there will be a demand for him when he decides to play. I think he understands most of the teams are going to look at younger players first. Connolly last played in the NHL with the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 2011-12 season, scoring 13 goals and 23 assists in 36 games. He was demoted to the AHL last season, scoring only five goals and seven assists in 28 games with the Toronto Marlies. The 32-year old forward was drafted fifth overall by the New York Islanders in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft. He has scored 131 goals and 300 assists in 697 career games with the Islanders, Maple Leafs and Buffalo Sabres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Doubt he'd sign for league minimum. He may have to go over to europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSwede Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I think he will sign in Switzerland for some reason. Or the KHL of course. I don't see any interest from NHL teams yay 1000 post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbox Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Just another casualty of the lowered cap this year. That and his lack of production in the AHL is quite alarming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanucks1 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 1.3 max for Canucks. He would be a good 4th line center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Aerosex Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 He should do his body a favour and go to Europe where he can avoid the brutality of the NHL, as well as let his skills shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 The Canucks have no use for Tim Connolly. Weak in the faceoff circle, no physical presence, and not an adequate defensive player to cut it in the bottom six. He'd make a good fit in Buffalo though. They need a #1 center.
