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

That hurt to watch, but they’ll learn to love him in Buffalo

Not as bad as the Zibanejad-Brassard trade. I hated that trade from day 1. Dorion should have been fired on the spot.

Eh, they return here was much better, but I had no shits to give for Zib. He suffered from the work ethic issues which in my experience doesn’t really endear yourself with the fans.

Morris ?

Nothing so far.
And if you look at the sabres game thread you’ll see they don’t have anything good to say about any of their players including Norris already.

I get it’s tough losing that much. We been there and might still be. But…they can’t all be terrible players.

When I tuned into the game noticed Norris was playing with Thompson and Tuch good opportunity to produce some points.

Hard to take anything serious when Peterka is a p***y who shouldn’t be signed long term, Tuch and Thomson are low Iq dummies, etc. etc.

They’re a burnt out fan base, and rightfully so. They are jaded about their players. We’ve been there through that past 7 years as well.

They’re not all terrible. Just a poorly constructed team, much like we used to be.

Sabres should be firing their GM while they still have a lot to work with and bring in someone who can properly build a team and they could turn things around quick. They probably won’t though.

The line makes almost zero sense, not one of them is a playmaker, they are all shooters.

Feel very bad for Norris, he’s an incredibly good dude, and is now in Buffalo for the foreseeable future, they’re an absolute trainwreck. Need a new GM, coach, owner. It’s like the Sens of 3 years ago, it’s a dark tunnel, and we know how shitty it is as fans.

Holy projection. Norris is a good dude because he's a forward thinking dude - glass half full type. Exactly what the Sabres need. Wouldn't be suprised to see him wearing the 'C' soon enough.

Can't help but feel bad for the guy playing in Buffalo but wishing him all the best health so he can have success (just not against us tho)

Lindy Ruff is not a good coach for a young team in 2025 either.

Buffalo has some nice pieces. They need a direction though. Ruff doesn't bring that, IMO.

I just read that Norris has 13 primary assists at 5v5 for his entire career. That is a hell of a stat for a center.

I wish him well in Buffalo but I am not sad for him leaving. The team mates left behind that were close to him maybe a little .

 

[ToastrStutzle]

Wish him the best of health and success for the rest of his career but I am ecstatic about the trade.
