Connauton (leg) will participate in an intrasquad scrimmage Friday, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.
Scouting Report
Has enough offensive skills that NHL teams keep him around, but has rarely stayed in the same place for more than a couple of seasons because of his work in the defensive zone; he tends to make more mistakes than his coaches are comfortable with. He has a hard shot from the point, good size (6’2”) and can contribute physically, but he simply has to be more careful with the puck.
Long Range Potential: Depth defenseman.
