Proposal: Josh Norris to Van

[TeamRenzo]

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.

Enough said...Sens pass

I feel Norris is either going to be playing or on LTIR. He's never going to end up being such a liability that's predominantly healthy imho. It's either he's healthy and benefits the team even if not massively, or he is a bandaid on LTIR.

Or his shoulders get destroyed to the point he can't shoot the puck at the same velocity anymore, which is his big strength, yet is still healthy enough to play, as a shadow of his former self, but still making 8mil/. Staios should take the initial offer and run

 

[Qward]

Would have made sense if he was part of a trade involving Miller, but it doesnt make sense for Ottawa at this point.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I see something similar to this. Mainly to free Ottawa of the money to allocate it the way Staois wants to build the team.

Norris can be a star; legit star. But those injuries are serious concern.

Never heard this even hinted at from Norris.

If I'm Vancouver I pivot to McCann now that he's on the market over both Cozens and Norris.

Believe it's meant as "the team would like to get ouot of his contract"

Which they absolutely should. 9.5 million USD for Norris in real cash is an absolute load for a team like Ottawa, and the 8 mill cap hit is also a huge amount.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

If Norris is dealt for a package like this, either our season is over (i.e offseason deal) or his is (i.e. season-ending injury). He wont be dealt for a package of pieces we dont really want or need unless there is an opportunity to improve the team, and this deal does the opposite at the moment.

 

[Barsky]

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

Ok, so what's the offer then?

 

[Fatass]

Norris is a really good player. How much more can his shoulder take befor he’s sent to Robidas Island? Is his contract even insured at this point?

The smart money says we will find out eventually, just a matter of time

For the record, his latest injury is his hip. His shoulder has held up very well this season (knock on wood).
