Connolly recorded 19 goals and 33 points in 69 contests for the Panthers in 2019-20, his first year with the team. While he couldn't match the 46-point effort he had in 2018-19, it was an expected decline in production. The 28-year-old remains one of the league's better bottom-six scorers -- he's had at least 23 points in each of the last five seasons, and he hasn't shot lower than 9.5 percent over that span. Connolly will compete with Vinnie Hinostroza for third-line minutes in 2020-21, but Connolly's the better of the two players. He should challenge for 10-to-15 goals and 20-to-25 points in the abbreviated 56-game season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Could be trade target
Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman believes Connolly could be a trade target for a contender at the deadline.
ANALYSIS
The Panthers have had a strong start to the season and Connolly has been the odd man out recently, having sat as a healthy scratch for the team's past two games, so it seems likely Florida would be willing to part with him for the right price at the deadline. The 28-year-old winger has gone scoreless through four games this campaign, but he played pretty well in 2019-20, picking up 19 goals and 14 helpers in 69 contests.
