It's incredibly weird. He basocally seems unable to adjust his pace of play to deal with the speed and more importantly the transition that's going on.
It probably has something to do with him being used to controlling the flow of play when he has the puck. He seems to expect that when he tries to slow the game down, the game will oblige him... because usually, it does. But the Avs are not cooperating and he has to adjust and just play faster. He is fully capable. Karlsson had the same issue in his first couple of seasons but figured it out.
