In terms of pure talent, Connelly is a top 10, some think even top-5 talent, in this draft. He has elite hands, speed, and an above-average shot and passing ability. It's a full package that can turn him into a top-line NHL player.
The only bad thing about Connelly on the ice is his size, he simply gets pushed off the puck a bit too often, though you have to catch him to even touch him. The older he gets, the more he works out and bulks up, he'll be able to win more puck battles and improve his already impressive shot.
The main reason Connelly isn't an automatic top-5 pick is all the off ice issues. He's been kicked off most teams he played on with reports he's an incredibly difficult teammate to deal with.
