Player Grades 2017: Kevin Connauton

Injuries may have messed with Kevin Connauton's Arizona Coyotes season before it ever started. After a strong showing last year as a January waiver wire pick up, the Coyotes signed Kevin Connauton to a two year deal, presumably to compete for a bottom-four role. But with an injury leading into training camp and the quick ascension of Jakob Chychrun, Coyotes fans didn't see a lot of Kevin Connauton in the '16-'17 season. And what little time he did play (Only 24 games with 13:08 average ice time, lowest among Coyotes defenders) wasn't particularly memorable (only 1 assist tallied in those 24 games).
