Wouldn't pre-season be the time to try this out?
There are still 6 games left.
Maurice reasoning from his pressers (paraphrasing) - the team missed the playoffs, they don't have the luxury of waiting (shuffling combos in preseason) He wants to run LSW for a while. That doesn't leave time your option. He wants the lines to have chemistry early.
This is part of the win now attitude. What you suggest may happen organically at some point, but it's not going to happen by choice any time soon IMO. They seem to have given Connor one job in preseason. Play a solid two way game. Concentrate on the defensive side of your game. Don't worry about PP for now because hat's not how you are going to make this team. IMO this is keeping it simple for him. He knows what he needs to do. Once he gets over this hurdle, added responsibility (PP) will probably happen soon enough.
Of course if there are going to be 15 PP's per game the Jets may choose to give him some PP time sooner if they think it helps them win.
