It has been a long and winding road for former Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Brett Connolly. Unfortunately, as he stood facing what would come to be a make or break season for the young Lightning forward, things did not quite turn out the way one hoped they would.
Brett Connolly was originally drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 1st Round (6th overall) in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Judging from the looks of things at the time, the future of the young British Columbia native was pretty bright.
