Recommendation: The Sabres have been quiet in the free-agent market and expect big things from Connolly on the power play and as their second-line center. He has a good chance to be 100 percent by the time training camp begins. Connolly is still capable of being a point-per-game player and he's only 27 years old, but he has missed 19, 80 and 34 games over the last three seasons, respectively.
