How to have elite players not lose the puck so easily?

I will preface this by saying I am playing on nhl24, it was free and I refuse to pay for sports games these days with little to no real game changing features. yearly games are cut & paste with barely a roster update.

Anyway I'm doing Quebec franchise, with a full draft from scratch, my 1st line is Forsberg, Sundin, Giroux and I have regularly adjusted, changed, raised & lowered settings across the board. I am still having issues with elite players like Forsberg & Sundin easily having the puck knocked off their stick. I watched both those guys ENTIRE careers & they were very strong on the puck, Forsberg was other worldly with his puck control. what setting can I continue to adjust to make their puck carrying a little more balanced to not have a weak poke check so easily cause turnovers?

I know these last batch of NHL games have been the drizzling shits, is it just the trash collision detection & EAs refusal to make the game proper? or is there something I can tweak to have a little better control? I want to say I may have "player puck control" maxed up and it's still WAY TOO EASY to lose the puck.

thanks for any advice or suggestions.
