That was certainly a headliner. Guy has excellent skill, but had maturity issues in his past.
Let’s remind ourselves that he’s still very young, and not every kid is gonna be perfect. Hopefully he’s learned from his mistakes, and will wear that gold sweater as a much improved person, while also processing the skills we obviously think he has!

christ i hope he gets traded. we don’t need a bigot on the team, it’ll bring us even more hatred and criticism and this time it will all be valid. i don’t understand why we decided to draft him but again i really hope he gets traded

Can’t wait to see what deadline deal he is a part of this year or next.

i don’t know anything about this guy but what is all this about him being a bigot? is he actually a racist or just a dumb kid? or are these just allegations? honest questions here because like i said i know nothing about the kid.

Good player, was a kid with all those incidents and also not surprised as he’s the same generation as me. Where being edgy and doing unremarkable things was deemed cool and funny. Just hope that he matures and gets put in his place.

What do we think people? I’ve only watched NHL a few months now so I’ve never heard of any of these dudes lol.
What a massive pick for the Knights
God dammit I hate this goddamn team sometimes
Hope we trade him within the year, I don’t want his racist ass ever wearing the gold
I like the pick, high skill he will be fantastic *if we don’t trade him(-_-;)*
>In 2022, while playing for the Long Island Gulls, 16-year-old Connelly posted a picture to [Snapchat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapchat) of him and a teammate posing in what appears to be a library with a [swastika](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbi).[^([1])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trevor_Connelly#cite_note-strang_pronman_2-22-24-1)
>On another occasion, Connelly was accused of and suspended for using [racial slurs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trevor_Connelly#cite_note-kennedy_2-8-24-5)
I really hope he’s learned from these mistakes.
