Don't even really care who the prospect is. Thank god.
It can't be Jensen .... maybe Corrado. Maybe Schroeder.
They offered a first and Jensen for Clowe, it might be.
It could be Corrado. Plays with Faksa.

Kevin Connauton is a quality defense prospect. I ranked him #4 in my VAN prospect rankings last summer: http://www.hockeyprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=1382 …
4. Kevin Connauton, Defense
2010-11 Ranking: 8th
Date of birth: 02/23/1990
Age: 22
Height: 6'1''
Weight: 198
Shoots: Left
Statistics: 71 GP, 13 G, 33 P (Chicago-AHL)
Acquired: Third round, 83rd overall in 2009 by Vancouver
The Good: Connauton took several steps forward last year, from a talented project into a quality prospect. He's a plus skater who one NHL source describes as "tremendous". He is very good at leading the rush and jumping up when he senses a chance to create an odd-man chance. He has skill, too, as he can move the puck at a solid level and has a cannon from the point that is accurate. An AHL All-Star this year, Connauton wasn't sheltered and played at a top level while facing off versus top players.
The Bad: Connauton's defense showed significant strides last season, and while he doesn't project as a quality defensive player, he's made enough improvement in that area where he may not have to be sheltered by his coach in the NHL.
Projection: He could be a top-four defenseman.

Connauton struggled to start the year, but improved in mid year. Offensive defenseman whose a great skater who can move the puck and shoot.

Connauton's defense has always been and remains questionable/decent, but the value he has comes when he has the puck.
someone tell me if I should be excited or not....I'm completely neutral right now
