Proposal: Free agency edition Trade Rumours/Proposals [MOD - Stay on Topic] 5

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Ryan Donato's name has already been mentioned. His cap hit at 2M is low enough that if Chicago retains, the Senators can fit him in without too many cap theatrics. He can play centre. I wonder if the injury to Pinto might expedite a trade for him if they were already considering it.

Elliot Friedman still floating Josh Norris' name out there in trade rumours with Vancouver.

What would be the return given Norris' injury problems?

I don’t think it was Friedman who threw Norris’ name out there, that was just Soucy. The article says Adam Kierszenblat thinks the Canucks are interested in Norris. Looked him up and he’s a writer for the site, no idea how reliable he is.

Highmore probably brings more in his role than Halliday would at the moment.

I’d think that the concern with Halliday would be how well he can play on the defensive side of things, especially with Green as the coach. And, I’m probably more open than some/many about not following stereotypical patterns, so I wouldn’t be opposed to giving him a chance. For example, I envisioned (& posted) that Gaudette had a good chance of making the team during the exhibition games this year. But, it doesn’t seem like too many NHL coaches think that way. I also don’t have the benefit of viewing many AHL games, so that’s worth noting as well.

As for roster decisions and potential additions, I think a lot boils down to how quickly at least one of our 2 injured centers can get back into the lineup after the 4 nations tournament. If one of them is ready to go not long after the 4N tournament, that might change how they approach things.

I wouldnt be surprised if Canucks are interested in Norris, he's having a solid season but I think its a bad idea.

Ya, the title mentioned Norris, but the actual article didn’t say anything about Norris. The subject of the article was Soucy. With the way media presents info and attention grabbing titles, it's imperative to read the article.

It did have info on Norris at the end, just wasn’t a Friedman quote.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Completely agree.

Tkachuk-Stutzle-Marchessault
Giroux-Greig-Batherson
Perron-Reinhardt-Amadio
Highmore-Ostapchuk-Gaudette

What we going to trade for him, though, lol

I don’t wanna get stuck paying that guy when he’s in his late thirties

In Friedmans discussions with Adam Kierszenblat he floats the Norris' name.
In the article Norris is mentioned in this paragraph:

The Canucks want to add more depth up front and also need some extra help on the blue line but the focus seems to be up front," he said "Ottawa's Josh Norris seems to be a player they want as he was roomates with [Quinn] Hughes in college. That's the name to watch."

I don’t think Friedman spoke to Adam Kierszenblat. The article is kind of confusing because it talks about Friedman’s comments on the radio and then flips to something else. If you click on the link the article references, Friedman’s Soucy comments are there.

Then later when he says “When speaking with Canucks Insider for the Hockey News, Adam Kierszenblat, he spoke to the kind of player Soucy is and how well-liked he is,” I don’t think he is speaking about Friedman talking to him, the writer himself spoke to Adam. And that’s when they segue into Norris. So Friedman as a whole did not mention or discuss Norris with anyone.

Anyway, on the topic of Friedman, he did say this:

7. Colorado made a run at Miller, but it never got close enough to threaten the Rangers deal. That’s why Casey Mittelstadt’s name is out there. Believe New Jersey, Ottawa and Toronto poked around, but not with much traction.

Also mentions that we went hard after Saad. I am not sure how we would acquire Mittelstadt in-season unless we were to trade Norris.

32 Thoughts: The NHL is heading into uncharted territory

How a rising cap will re-shape the way we look at contracts and how they're negotiated; how Dustin Wolf is changing Calgary's outlook; and will Canada hire a full-time world juniors coach?

What about Mittelstadt and something for Norris?

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Doesn't he mean Ottawa, Toronto, and New Jersey poked around on Miller? Not Mittelstadt.

 

[StoicSensFan]

That's also how I interpreted that. Seeing the package for Miller... I doubt Norris was on the table. He's waaaay better than what they got.

Ohh yes I think you’re right.

He would’ve had to be to make the salary work. The talks might not have even gotten that far though since Miller wasn’t going to waive for us.

No one on the The Hockey News is reliable. It's turned into a completely dogcrap publication.

 

[GCK]

Should we trade both Norris and Pinto. I mean if Norris is injury prone what is Pinto.

I feel so old saying this but I can’t help but agree with York and Daigle on the most recent CIH podcast that you can’t help but wonder if the new NHL build with these skinny upper bodies and less practice taking contact coming up contributes to durability issues.

Just out of curiosity, are there significantly more injuries now than in earlier years?

Personally, I think that the speed would play a major role in an increase. The players are much bigger and faster than they were before and the dimensions of the ice haven't changed so impact occurs more regularly at pace.

I wonder what the injury rate in Europe is with the big ice.

 

[BoardsofCanada]

Just hypothetical but would you guys do Norris and a 4th for Soucy and Lekkerimaki?

Leaves us thin down the middle with Stu, Pinto, Ostap and Halliday but opens up a ton of cap space.

Personally, I don't think we need Soucy. We have Mantinpalo who's almost as good, but Soucy would give us depth on the blueline. .And Lekk could potentially be a top 6 winger for us down the road.

No, I wouldn’t.

I wouldn't, but I am on record many times as being a big Norris supporter.

I am curious how you feel this would be a net positive for the Senators? How do you see it playing out to make us better?
