*Edit: Apparently he was on the ice before the scrimmage, but went off the ice before it started and didn't play. I don't know if that's good or bad, but I do think it means he wasn't at the dentist or in bed with the sniffles.
He was 100% ready. That doesn’t require caution. Sooner or later we can’t be taking a cautious approach anymoreI'm sure they're taking a cautious approach with Norris. He's probably talking with doctors every single day or training camp, and if the guy woke up with any sort of pain or discomfort in his shoulder they're probably going to pull him aside to check it out further instead of putting him into a scrimmage against a fired up Brady Tkachuk who apparently was running people over today.
As someone whos 2 weeks post op from shoulder surgery....I can appreciate his caution
Sleeping in a chair has been dogshit.
Hopefully it's all precautionary
Shouldn’t really be any precaution if he’s 100%.As someone whos 2 weeks post op from shoulder surgery....I can appreciate his caution

entirely speculation.Has there been any confirmation him not participating in scrimmage is shoulder related or is it all speculation?
Give me the Tkachuk Norris Batherson line.
Each of them is scoring 75+ points.
He is the early range to return, post operation on a shoulder that has been operated on 2 times already.But Norris is a pro hockey player who is supposed to be 100% recovered and healthy, and they are already "taking precautions"?
Not a good sign at all.
Not "playoff bound"? Too pessimistic of you.I have a feeling Norris might be on the wing this year.
One of:
Tkachuk - Stü - Giroux
Norris - Pinto - Batherson
or
Norris - Stü - Giroux
Tkachuk - Pinto - Batherson
Either would be a pretty nice top 6, IMO, and would leave a nice 3rd line of Perron - Greig - Amadio. I think that's a top 9 that is playoff worthy.
No it is not "normal" at all.He is the early range to return, post operation on a shoulder that has been operated on 2 times already.
It's completely normal until told otherwise.
