Kyle Connor Is A Cheap Playoff Pickup
7 years agoWinnipeg Jets forward Kyle Connor finished the regular season strong with 31 goals and 57 points, good enough to earn him the NHL's top rookie goal scorer. In his last four games of the season, Connor had two goals, four assists and 13 shots on net. He will continue to play on the top line with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler, which has been clicking all season long, as they've played more than 600 minutes together. As an added bonus, Connor has been shooting at 16 percent and while that's unlikely to continue into the postseason, it is comforting. His lack of playoff experience could be a drawback, so look for him as a deeper pick, but Winnipeg will have to come out firing and Connor will be in the thick of it.
