Brett Connolly has put on muscle and seems to be in terrific shape. He impressed Tampa's coaching staff during developmental camp this week. "The one thing that I was impressed with, and this is only the first day, is his physical appearance,'' said Jon Cooper, head coach of Tampa Bay's top minor-league affiliate. "Last year at this time, he kind of looked like a frail little boy, but this time he was looking like a man, and that means he has dedicated himself in the weight room this past year and that was pretty impressive. So I think he's taken all the right steps to figure out where he needs to be.'' Connolly has a tremendous amount of offensive upside and if he is now over injuries and physically ready for the NHL, he could make a fantasy impact.
