Proposal: Josh Norris to Van

[LeProspector]

Josh Norris

For

Carson Soucy
Nils Hoglander
2nd round pick


Ottawa wants more cap flexibility moving forward and Vancouver gets a legit 2C with injury issues so that’s why he comes so cheap.

Thoughts?

I'm in, from Vancouver's standpoint. Why does Ottawa entertain this though?

Continued Injury Issues, expressed intrest to get out of his long term contract for a while now, and cap flexibility.

He is obviously worth more than that but with him not being able to stay healthy for extended stretches and a long term deal, I think the return if Norris gets traded is going to be pitiful.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Sure.

Ottawa should not do this

I mean, yeah, if that means he's worth Hoglander, Soucy and a 2nd to Ottawa, I'd be all kinds of in. Something tells me other Ottawa fans will not react positively to the proposal though, even with the reasons you've laid out.

I think I'd beat that as a Seattle fan.

3 shoulder surgeries, a reconstructed left shoulder (his shooting hand), and has been pacing around 50 points the last 2 seasons. He doesn’t exactly have a ton of value, especially at $8M.

Ottawa is better off just keeping him and hope his value rises. His value is around a 2nd round pick and a prospect at most right now.

If Norris is going to VAN, Boeser and an extension are likely coming back. But I don't see them trading Norris tbh

I know they won’t, but Hoglander has a history of success under Green, and Soucy is great depth on defence for this season.

I think Senators fans need to temper their expectations a bit with the return on Norris. Great player when healthy. But like the post below me has illustrated he’s seldom, that. The best ability to have is availability. Norris doesn’t have that.

Have you asked @NyQuil ?

I can get why Senators fans want this, but I don’t see the extension as realistic in any sense. Why would he sign in Ottawa? He’ll get more than Norris’ deal.

Agree completely - a second round pick and players to somewhat match salary’s.

While that is certainly what your offer is
