Expectation:  After winning the role of top 6 forward in training camp, Conacher was expected to build on the solid rookie season he had and continue to improve.

In The First Half:  Conacher lost the top 6 role, found himself bouncing around the lineup, filling in whenever and wherever needed. A decent utility player who probably won’t be a consistent scorer.

GRADE:  C

Potential For Improvement:  Conacher will continue to develop, but for a player his size it will be tough for him to find a consistent spot in the top 6 to get prime scoring opportunities.
