Kyle Connor is elite

[SeanMoneyHands]

He's got to be one of the most underrated players in the NHL. He's quietly put up 251 pts in his last 236 regular season games. It's too bad he plays in a small market, if he was on a big market team he would be getting a lot more spotlight.

I think this year he finally scores 50 goals and will likely put up 90-100pts. He's on another level this year.

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

Absolutely wild that even in a start where his team is 9-1 he manages to be outscored at 5v5. I guess some things never change.

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
