Oh yeah, you're right. I forgot that it was originally baby Sara before Flashpoint, and then Connor. However, there have been multiple time travels since then, with Savitar, the Legends and Nora etc. The timeline seems to be constantly changing, so who knows what kind of future there is now in Arrow. (Writers probably use that as an excuse to explain anything that doesn't match up to what's already been revealed about the future.)

Plus, in the Legends episode where they went to Star City's future, Connor said he changed his name from Junior to Connor because Diggle died fighting Deathstroke/Grant Wilson. But that fight wasn't meant to happen till 2031, and there's been no mention of Grant in the Flash Forwards as of yet. And Oliver's identity was originally revealed by Grant during their big fight, however, Oliver has already done that.

Huh? Where was Connor before Flashpoint?
