Hes elite when he wants to be
Takes too much time off to be a franchise superstar winger despite the talent level beung there
After 2021-2022 it looked like he would be a 50G and 50A guy but then he had two ~ppg years only along with ~ppg playoffs

Maybe the Jets coaches should see if the massive sample of like 2500 minutes over the last 4 seasons showing that Connor and Scheifele do better apart 5v5 than together is a pattern rather than just a blip on the radar.
Nah, it's fine. Keep rolling them out there. It's going great.

He's consistently an excellent goal-scorer, which is obviously impressive. My observation of his 5v5 play (admittedly I don't watch Winnipeg a whole lot) is that he is not an elite player, though. I'll disclaim that by saying that I possibly have a stringent definition of elite.
I think if he played in a different market he would get significantly more attention, though, that's for sure.

He put up 93 points in 21-22. I'd say he's been elite since then and the Jets knew what he was in 19-20 when they gave him $50M. I think hes amazing and I think everyone knows he is. Someone will give him $10M in 2 years if the Jets dont pony up.
Well I go look at the NHL stats he is at plus 5 . If you are going to come on here just to trash talk at least try to get facts straight . Troll

It’s a little weird that he doesn’t get more attention. Small market, I get it, but other Jets players get plenty of attention. He’s been scoring at a really consistent 40-goal pace for a long time now, which is a pretty rare thing in this league. Somehow he doesn’t get the corresponding amount of press that would normally go with that.
This only focuses on the one player on the ice instead of the other 2 on his line. So he can be an elite goal scorer, but, still be outscored.
Yep. OP's premise is a joke. Kyle Connor is not elite. He's somehow underwater at 5v5 for his career, despite having so much individual scoring talent and playing in front of Connor Hellebuyck.
It takes a special kind of defensive ineptitude to accomplish that.
Underrated? He's not a good 5v5 player. Connor is one of the most overrated players in the league.
Despite what they may say, most people don't know puck. They're opinions are formed literally from looking at the "points" column on HockeyDB.
I don't get this. Kyle Connor always comes up on "most underrated" lists. So clearly people think he's good.
And yet he gets outscored every season.
Do elite guys get outscored every season at 5v5? He plays in front of Connor Hellebuyck? How bad do you have to be defensively to accomplish that?
You literally do not know how plus/minus is calculated. LMAO.
Did the Devils pass on him on the draft? Seems like their fanbase in particular is critical of Connor.
