Connor, who signed a three-year contract Monday (April 11) with the Winnipeg Jets, led the nation with 35 goals and 71 points while playing on the CCM Line that sparked Michigan to the Big Ten Tournament championship and a spot among the elite eight teams in the NCAA Tournament.
He won the Tim Taylor Award as the NCAA's top first-year player, and was the Big Ten's Player of the Year as well as its Freshman of the Year.
