Connor-Scheifele | 1127:40 | 2.82 | 2.93 | 2.76 | 3.00 | 53 | 55 | -2 |
Connor-PLD | 658:01 | 3.37 | 2.01 | 3.14 | 2.65 | 37 | 22 | +15 |
Connor had about 80 minutes over the last 2 seasons without either Scheifele or PLD as his center.
Maybe Scheifele is the real problem...or the sum of Connor and Scheifele is less than the parts?
I think Connor might do really well on Lowry's line. That line generates some excellent scoring chances but suffers a bit from a lack of finish. Lowry and Niederreiter are probably capable of carrying Connor defensively...and Connor makes that line wildly dangerous. Even just swapping Connor and Ehlers and seeing how Connor and Monahan gel.
Of course, we'll never know what might be if Connor and Scheifele are permanently glued together...
