Maybe the timing of the passes is just off, or the primary passes for the breakout are too well covered, leaving the defensemen to either try and carry the puck out of our zone, or revert to a less effective outlet pass to avoid forechekers?
I'm going to try and count how many passes are made from defensemen to forwards skating back through the neutral ice and towards or into our zone tonight.

Simply put, we're missing the Brodie Breakout Pass(TM).
