That’s Kevin Connauton from the Florida Panthers. He’s a 6th or 7th d-man on this team, competing with the not-exactly-stalwart Nick Seeler and Keith Yandle for ice time. Ryan Ellis is still out, so they can squeeze Connauton in here, and he’s probably a better option at this point.
What they should do is let Yandle get his record, which would trigger in mid-January, and then immediately waive him. That’s the deal. You get your record, then we waive your rear end. See ya.
EDIT:
Yandle should be given two options. 1) retire immediately after getting the record or 2) we waive your ass. I think that’s more respectful and fair.
Kevin has been writing about Philadelphia sports since 2009. He spent seven years in the CBS 3 sports department and started with the Union during the team's 2010 inaugural season. He went to the academic powerhouses of Boyertown High School and West Virginia University. email - k.kinkead@sportradar.com
