Part of it honestly is he gets absolutely molested in the neutral zone even when he doesn't have the puck, and sometimes he gets double teamed in the neutral zone, so he's having to literally jump and dodge around assholes just to drive into the offensive zone to make himself available for a pass. It's even worse when he does attempt a zone entry, makes it really difficult to drive the puck deep in the zone when you have to figure skate around 2 guys. It's incredible that his zone entries are still high high chance % even with how other teams are playing him right now. Connor is fine, he serves up amazing passes in the o zone almost every shift, it's just tough for even Drai to capitalize on how quick his decision making is.
Also, as much as I do love Drai, he's kinda bad at catching passes, and he's really bad at one timers. They have great chemistry together, but ultimately it's 2 playmakers playing together...you're not going to be seeing amazing goals scored on a nightly basis with that setup.
Connor desperately needs somebody like Hoffman playing RW. A lot of people on here were talking about trading assets for Hoffy last year, and a lot of people liked the idea, especially with all the Sens drama that was happening. This is why so many people really want Pulju to pan out...Connor needs a shooter bad.
