Connor played all 82 games for the Jets in (22/23) - averaged TOI 20:31 - majority of his ice time coming at ES and PP - some secondary PK - scored 31G-49A but ended the season (-11).
His element is easy to identify - all offense -
Skilled / light / can play quick and fast / threat off the rush / can beat opponents 1vs1
Credited with only 43 hits and 24 shot blocks
A difference maker offensively who needs to clean up his detail defensively
There are nights he produces offense but also lacks commitment in his zone and fails to win enough secondary puck battles or stay with his assignment defensively - Elite offense - average defensively
