Player Discussion Josh Norris (C) 6’-1” - Part 3

[boxbox]

not at all but if Norris scores 30 this year at 8m in a 95M salary cap he is worth his salary. I wouldn't be opposed to moving him if they are going to acquire someone else to be second line C and replace his output. You also have to look at the effect trading someone like Norris would have with Tkachuk and the rest of the locker room.

but again I also understand Norris is a ticking time bomb and the best opportunity to get him off the books is no

- 82.5M salary cap in year ONE (8 year deal)
- 83.5M salary cap in year TWO (8 year deal)
- 88.0M salary cap in year THREE /current season
- 92.5M salary cap scheduled for year FOUR

8M for a 30 goal scorer in a 95M salary cap is far more appealing than 8M for a 30 goal scorer in a 82.5M/83.5M/88M salary cap

Scoring is essential to the game of hockey, that goes withtout saying... I am just not to crazy about it when the teams 1C/key playmakers is on pace(82 games) to finish with 30 goals and 17 assists.

Norris’s competitiveness and focus is fun to watch, big goals down the stretch and a battle level that embraces Travis Green’s desire to choke guys out and play suffocating hockey. Norris gets joy out of battling for pucks and playing against the top players on the opposition. The last stretch of games the entire Sens team is like a controlled pack of rabbit dogs. Theres true emotion there and Norris is one of the guys who sets the blueprint.

The ultimate pet, no? :p

My guess is garrioch is not completely wrong but it's more a case of other teams inquiring on a buy low candidate.
