Confirmed with Link: [OTT/BUT] Josh Norris & JBD traded for Dylan Cozens, Dennis Gilbert & 2026 2nd

It is interesting to hear how much interest there was in Norris league-wide. Apparently, San Jose, Vancouver, and Nashville were interested.

My prediction was wrong, I thought he would be very difficult to move for anything but iffy contracts.

Vancouver didn't have the right pieces. To think, we were that close to getting Soucy.

Yeah it's pretty shocking to me there was so much interest in Norris.

The very fact that Staios was looking to move Norris in the middle of a tight playoff race should have scared teams away.

Especially considering this is a player that has major injury concerns going forward. Sens have insider info about the state of his shoulder and obviously did not feel confident he'll justify his contract going forward.

Yeah also @Burrowsaurus - you told me I was wrong after the trade and I doubled down - but a lot of info has since come out and clearly Norris had value well beyond what I thought he had.

French media are so piss at Buffalo about this trade. They can believe we have Cozen for Norris. Montreal try to acquire him

It must have been a mistake by Buffalo. If they knew Montreal needed him, they would have sent him there because they understand that the world revolves around the bleu blanc rouge.

You just wanted Soucy because his name sounds like Ceci.

Maybe we’ll get Soucy one day man. One day.

If they got me galchenyuk they can get you Soucy

Really curious as to what other teams were offering for Norris.
