Line Combos: CBJ Roster Discussion/Line Combos/Injury Report

my counterpoint to this is that i have simply not read those comments and like a tiny baby playing peek-a-boo for the first time, they may as well not exist to me

i do wonder if the idea of getting him retained down to 50% + getting out of compher's deal in the same trade would change their feelings.

Not meaning to accuse; just trying to appraise y'all of the situation. I know not everybody here has the (lack of) sanity necessary to regularly browse TR&FA.

A guy making just shy of $8m/year for the next six years who has literally never managed to complete a full season of play in the NHL due to frequent recurring shoulder injuries. Ryan Murray was more consistently available than he's been.

I would not consider that a worthwhile risk.


EDIT: Side-by-side comparison of Murray's and Norris' games played, by age:

Age	Murray GP	Norris GP
19	66	0 (17/36 NCAA)
20	12	3 (56/60 AHL)
21	82	56
22	60	66
23	44	8
24	56	50

Started at 19 because neither of them were playing NHL games before that age. Cut off at 25 because this is Norris' age 25 season, which is obviously not done yet; Murray had only 27 games that season and after it was no longer a Blue Jacket.

He has a trophy named after him, he can't be that bad???

...low-hanging fruit and all that

Yes, but at one time he had a Division named after him. Now he doesn’t. He is slippin’.

If we trade for Norris I'll become the Prince of Wails.

Could I then become the Prince of Whales?

Obviously we’d need to add but my goodness if Brady Tkachuk is available I’d make anyone not named KJ, Werenski, or Fantilli available.

The problem is I believe Fantilli would be the exact player they’d target.

I don't think it's going to happen but hey, Jiricek and a top 3 protected 1st in 2025?

Seems like a great opportunity for a Jiricek deal.

Zub got hurt and he's out long term. They can use Jiricek as a replacement and Jiricek can finally get his playing minutes lol
