USHL GM: Kenny Connors should have been drafted last year and I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t get drafted this year. Via Scott Wheeler

An overage, Connors was eligible to be drafted in 2021. Though he went unranked at most publications (some will not rank overagers), FloHockey’s Chris Peters had this to say:

The Kings selected one of my favorite sleepers in this draft as Kenny Connors goes 103rd. I had him ranked 97th. Played a big role for Dubuque this season and is so versatile. Don't be shocked if he makes a push to make the summer World Junior team as he was invited to camp.
