Move Stutzle to the top line and move Norris down to the second line with Brown and Paul. That will slow down his goal scoring pace and save us a lot of money on his next contract.

Half glass full my friend. Let's be thankful that he's playing like a 7.5 mil caliber player.
Getting upset a player is playing too well for us to keep long term.
Just Sens fan things.
I'd argue 7.5 mil is fair for a high-end 2C or low-end 1C, which is what Norris projects to beWith Tkachuk, I had no doubt he'd be worth his contract. Norris, I don't know if I see enough for number 1 C on a contender team. That's the frustration--not him playing well, but if he pacing the type of play he can maintain for years to come?
Norris started to tear it up once Batherson and Tkachuk did but he was a nonfactor when they were quiet. He isn't the straw that stirs the drink, unlike Suzuki in MTL or Hughes in NJ. I wanna see more hands from Norris before I dish anything north of 7. He fumbles puck way to much on PP for my liking yet.
I also said Norris' potential looks like Couture but I want to see more puck retention from Norris before I feel confident in gambling on that with big pucks on his next contract.
Kid's probably going to touch 50G a couple of times in his career, which should be over the next few years. Automatically makes him worth at least that kind of money. Being super defensively responsible and playing a premium position is the cherry on top.With Tkachuk, I had no doubt he'd be worth his contract.

You would think some of the members of this forum are part of Melnyk's accounting team rather than actual fans of the hockey team itself.
It is not our money, let Dorion and Melnyk figure out how are they going to pay everyone, not up to us to worry that our great young players are going to be too good to afford.
Would be nice to have an owner that spends to the cap. This obvious internal budget situation will definitely hurt the team's chances at success long-term.
This is literally you in previous page of this same thread:
yet you're calling me out for worrying about our internal cap, lmfao. For a guy called thedebater, half ur posts sure are redundant.
I don't think they should change the lineups, the top line seems to be really in sync with each other & all three really jell togther well & are becoming a dominant line. I don't think that should change just to appease Stutzle fans.
Besides, Stutzle is now centering a pretty good line with lots of speed & plenty of skill on it's own. C. Brown is starting to have another amazing season after his bout with Covid & returning to form as a 2nd line player with plenty of skill & playmaking ability. Formenton's speed also really helps to push back defences & give the other two more room to work & he's starting to put more pucks in the net.
This should allow them to create another good line around Pinto & maybe Sokolov next season. Maybe a Paul - Pinto - Sokolov 3rd line?
