I mean, you could clean up the line between CT-1 and CT-5  a little, but that is SOOO minor compared to what you see elsewhere in the country.  



Pretty much this.

Overall its hard to call the current map a gerrymander. It doesnt help the Rs but it's not really drawn to help the Dems in any sort of way because they dont really need it.

It's not an intentional gerrymander anyway.  The map was drawn by the state courts after the legislature deadlocked.  Dems controlled the legislature, but, as someone else here mentioned, they did not have the required 2/3rds majority to pass their map (the last time one party had 2/3rds control during redistricting was the GOP in 1921).  The current map was intended to be a least change map from the 2002 lines.
