- Trevor Connelly is one of the most controversial prospects for the 2024 NHL Draft due to some off-ice issues in his past, but tried to stress his personal growth and work away from the rink. The Tri-City Storm star visited with 22 NHL teams during his time in Buffalo, but only participated in upper-body testing due to a knee injury while training.

Well, my Golden Knights are taking the gamble, but listening to this interview, he definitely seems more mature now than I’m sure he was back when he made his publicized mistakes. Got more growing to do no doubt, but this was a good media scrum for him no doubt! Hope he can keep his nose clean and his future bright!
The fact that the media and scouts and admin are talking about his misdeeds , tells me he's got a lot of proving to do. He better keep his nose clean.
He actually seems far more humble and grounded than I anticipated.
He’s reading a script
Unless a catton or someone with similar talent drops to 15 Yzerman needs to take a gamble on this kid l wings need some elite forwards in the system
If you guys can get him @ 15, you may very well be getting a top-5 talent 10 spots later. He's so skilled. And his "issues" are grossly misrepresented and distorted.
I’m with you on this. He could be a good fit in Motown.
I like him, best of luck!
I hope the kid matures he is a talent
Could certainly see a team in the middle of the first jump up a spot or two if he's on the board and take him. If you're 17th and he's on the board at 15 it's worth the small risk and small price to get that level of talent compared to what is typically available
the character concern allegations are way, way overblown. top 16 pick, and rightfully so.
What?? If he made a racial slur he not only should not have been drafted, he should have been given a lifetime ban from the NHL !!!!!
i played against the guy years ago and he was such a bitch bro, i get he was a kid but his dad was fighting people in the stands, he was calling kids the f word, he was sucker punching kids after the whistle, nonstop shittalking. i hope he’s mature now but back then before all the major controversy he was such a bitch
Swastika...really...overblown. you have to be a trump voter
@@joannegoodreau3014 not a big deal tbh
@@joannegoodreau3014 swastika ??? oh no...we can't have that.
ASPD ?
Any chance he falls into the late 20s?
I'm hoping the LA Kings draft this kid at #21.
He is well rehearsed. His answers responding to past issues seems to be very well rehearsed and don't seem to be genuine.
DO YOU SEE A PROBLEM WITH HIM STICKING UP FOR HIS RACE AFTER HIS ENTIRE LIFE HIS RACE HAS BEEN VILLIFIED FOR EVERY LOSER ON EARTHS PROBLEMS ?
He's got talent agents prepping him.
Any team who selects after 15th who doesn't pick Connelly is saying portraying ourselves as a 'Woke' organization is more important than winning the Cup.
Dumb
More so that the GM prioritizes his own job over what's best for the organization. They are afraid of becoming the next Bergevin.
This isn't about wokeism. It's about character. If you've read the athletic article on him, you'll know this kid has serious issues: changing teams frequently, bullying teammates, swastika pic, racial slur towards opposing teammate etc.
It's stupid not to give an 18y old a second chance, but he has to be sincere in putting the work in.
@@Lmsjfj What character flaw does he have that he needs to work on?
He is a bean pole lol. 160 is lighter than anyone at the combine and Connelly is 6'1. That's why he will fall as others with that build have fallen as well.
Pass. His backstory is creepy. He has "bad teammate" written all over him.
What is his backstory?
@@aceventuraify Do an online search for 'trevor connelly problem' The best story on the situation was in The Athletic, but that's behind a paywall.
@@aceventuraify Connelly experienced harassment and bullying from both parents and other children from a young age. When he was 14, he was suspended from Bishop Kearney High School following an incident where he allegedly responded to hazing and humiliation at the hands of his teammates by urinating on another player's equipment.[1]
In 2022, while playing for the Long Island Gulls, 16-year-old Connelly posted a picture to Snapchat of him and a teammate posing in what appears to be a library with a swastika built out of children's blocks, captioned "creations". He quickly removed the post and apologized, stating that he did not understand the extent to which his actions would be hurtful, but was removed from the team. He has since participated in diversity training and community service, and received mentoring from a rabbi.[1]
On another occasion, Connelly was accused of and suspended for using racial slurs during a match, but he denied the allegation and the suspension was overturned when the league could not find any evidence that the incident occurred.[5]
Basically - things all adult males like to do.
@@scottlucidi6476ya not that bad I thought it would’ve been sexual harassment, pissing on equipment is fucked up but he was a kid then probably the best player on the team with an ego. If his parents bullied him probably why he is so good at hockey, it is all he had
@@scottlucidi6476That’s not exactly earth shattering, and if anything, he sounds like a victim of a shitty upbringing, and thus probably didn’t have the best of support around him as he played his sport. Kids that have that upbringing aren’t going to be the perfect specimens for NHL GMs to scout, and so they’ve got to learn from their actions.
What Trevor Connelly has done sounds to be exactly that, and until he does something stupid again, I’m gonna trust that he’s grown, and is continuing to grow.
He has a certain arrogance about him. It’s almost like he’s answering a question before it’s finished being asked. His answers were also very curt. And I went into his video with an open mind so I doubt he’s winning many teams over based on his past
Lol sure sounds like you had some kind of preconceived notion and not an open mind. Or did you mean "open mind about changing my mind"?
Hard for me to get a definitive read. He did say he's trying to be the best person he can be every day and that he's put in a lot of work. He's looking to the future, not trying to let his past define him.
There’s a possibility that these are semi-scripted answers. I believe I’ve read that he works with a PR firm that helps him with his image. Who knows with this kid? The talent is absolutely undeniable.
I don’t see that whatsoever haha.
It actually shocked me how humble he seems. Was thinking he’d be arrogant but he wasn’t.
