According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet and Hockey Night in Canada, Matt O'Connor is a name that may soon become familiar to fans north of the border. That's because O'Connor, currently the goal tender for Boston University, is attracting attention from nearly every Canadian team according to Friedman. It's not hard to see why, one year before he becomes a free agent, O'Connor is having the best season of his career with a 1.67 goals against average, and a save percentage of .941.  Here's more from Friedman:
"There’s a teammate of [Jack Eichel] by the name of Matt O’Connor. He’s a goaltender, 6-foot-6, he’s going to be 23 in February, he has a 1.67 goals-against average. O’Connor is going to be a free agent after this year. There’s a lot of interest especially by Canadian teams. Toronto met briefly with him earlier today. Craig MacTavish met with him briefly after a game a couple of weeks ago and it’s expected Oilers will meet with him further. O’Connor is going to have a lot of interest, Vancouver and Ottawa also among those teams taking a look."
With so many teams interested in O'Connor there is no telling where he will be next season, he could even play for a non Canadian team, but we will keep you up to date on the latest on Matt O'Connor.
