Player Discussion Josh Norris C 6’1” - Part 2

[OD99]

Sorry! All this ADC talk has me wondering if Norris is progressing nicely with his recovery because we'll need him 100%.

Wasn't he basically able to play if we made the playoffs?

As long as there is no news on a set-back I am happy at this point!

He is going to put all his naysayers on notice this year. He is far better than most on here believe IMO and will be a huge part of a complete team.

Hoping hard for him being healthy. He's a massive part of the team.

Feels like a lot of the season rides on that shoulder. Hard to see them doing damage without him again.

Our future is dependent on Norris’ shoulder right now. Not a good spot to be in.

It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't rely so much on his shoulders.

But his shot is the thing that makes his offensive game special lol.

It absolutely does.

Unbelievably risky contract. Another Dorion unforced error.

Hopefully it works out because if it doesn't we are very screwed.

It is certainly hard to see a path forward for this team without him being healthy.

Not sure what concerns me more, Norris' shoulder or the likelihood of one of Chychrun, Zub and Chabot being out injured at any given time.

If we had a very capable coach I wouldn't worry as much but we have DJ

Yes, this team has yet to prove they're deep enough or coached well enough to overcome injuries. I'd feel better with more depth. Last year it was pretty clear the roster was thin if injuries hit.

Hard to say it was a risky contract IMO. Had to lock him up and the contract isn't bad at all.

Will be a steal going forward!

 

[HSF]

one thing that is not talked about is the key development time he is missing

I really hope this guy makes it cause we need him

What do you mean by, "Hope he makes it?"

He was already at least a good #2C before the injuries.

Can skate, played PK, good in the dot and a lethal shot. He checks a ton of boxes.

Part of me thinks if we Pinto really develops or if we draft another C to push Norris, I can see him on the wing

He’s seems suited to do so.

He is by far our best defensive forward, he should be leaned on as a defensive match up C.

I'm hearing from Coming In Hot that Norris is doing well.

I could name a number of US airlines.

hmmm

Geez, carrying their own bags? Not even driving a cart? Just a couple of regular joe's out there.

 

[Ouroboros]

Still not cleared, and won't be playing any pre-season games?

Don't get a good feeling reading that.

Its a setback
Laughton would be nice insurance can play W and C
Pius Suter would be cheaper C depth but not the player Laughton is.

It's odd, because in the article that Brassard himself wrote, he quotes Norris saying the goal is to be 100% for the start of camp, which Norris follows up with saying he want's to be ready for the start of the season and there should be no problem doing that. I'm not sure why he wouldn't be playing pre season games if he's 100% for the start of camp and started skating a month ago.

 

[Senscore]

Ruling out preseason games two months before the preseason is a little alarming, if that is in fact the case.
