Former Buffalo Sabres teammate Clark MacArthur envisions good things for Tim Connolly this season on a line with Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul. "He's a great passer. Those two are great shooters. We needed help up the middle. To get him will be great," MacArthur said. "The fans are going to appreciate what he brings to the table, and his hockey style. It's a great fit." Connolly is also projected to play in power play and penalty kill situations for the Maple Leafs in 2011-12. He could be in for a strong year if he can avoid the dreaded injury bug that has plagued him for most of his career.
