"that chick from Ohio"
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.

"that chick from Ohio"
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 |

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

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?

Zub got hurt and he's out long term. They can use Jiricek as a replacement and Jiricek can finally get his playing minutes lolSeems like a great opportunity for a Jiricek deal.

Doubt they'd want a total future package in bizzaro world where things got that far. Would maybe be something around Jiricek+Marchenko
That said I think they consider moving Norris as their core shakeup

Well yes but that doesn’t mean I have to make the trade either. I’d rather keep Fantilli

That's survivorship bias in action; the people who legit recognize You Have To Give To Get by and large aren't the ones dumb enough and Dunning-Krugered enough to be posting those proposals.

Since I hope that Jiricek sticks around and plays the rest of the season with Mateychuk in Cleveland building chemistry with him, if Columbus keep Fabbro (fingers crossed) and Christiansen, I'd like to see them try Mateychuk and Jiricek on a pair together in the NHL next season with Gudbranson (or Harris) as the 7D like so:
Werenski-Fabbro
Christiansen-Severson
Mateychuk-Jiricek
Gudbranson
Werenski-Fabbro
Christiansen-Severson
Mateychuk-Jiricek
Gudbranson

It's tough to break in multiple kids at once in general, nevermind on the same pair but atleast in this scenario they could be protected until they show its not needed

Yeah, it's unconventional but my thought process is also if they played the same system in Cleveland and showed chemistry, they'll have a foundation to stand on and then you maybe can put some veteran forwards like ZAR and Olivier with them to insulate them. I just think those three D pairs will be really good.
