Norris started a kerfuffle in Buffalo's last game
Some of the worst demonstrations of fighting I’ve ever seen.
Two fake tough teams trying to act tough.
Norris started a kerfuffle in Buffalo's last game
Sens made out like bandits.
Norris is as good a dude as you’ll find in the league, and is a very good player, but there’s nothing in the deal that’s negative.
Cozens for Norris alone I find absolutely baffling, a 2nd coming our way as well is bananas. Adams is an absolute buffoon
Cozens fits the team like a glove. It’s a Zib-Brassard type deal on our side, we got the younger, higher ceiling guy for the known commodity

You can't make this up.
With that said, I wonder if he was already playing through some stuff.
It's a lot less logical to play through injuries when Buffalo is out of a playoff spot vs when Ottawa is in contention for one.
I’m sure they asked that, and were subsequently laughed at and hung up onBuffalo ask Caufield or Slaf for Cozens. Crazy that Norris as this value

Montreal said no. They settled for NorrisI’m sure they asked that, and were subsequently laughed at and hung up on
Norris doesn’t have that value
Norris is probably a mill overpaid so it makes sense he has value.
Been saying for a long time now he is an obvious weak link in the top 6 for an 8mill player.
I don't feel bad...Ottawa paid a ton of money upfront for a few years to him and thought it was overpay from the start. He's a good guy who ottawa gave a ton of rope to. I am sure he will be okay in Buffalo but getting Cozens who plays a better game and goes to the net works in our favour to continue pushing for an identity and to continue building around Brady's playstyle
Both Norris and Cozens are overpaid. That's why the trade happened.
Both things are true. They are both overpaid as of now, and assuming full health, neither is likely to be overpaid in a couple years based on a combination of the cap rising and likelihood of improved performance. But that is a big assumption for Norris obviously.Arguable of Cozens, he may be a 65 point C who plays on the top PP and that’s a $7 million player on every team, he wasn’t on the Savers but he might be on the Sens

By the third year of that deal Norris won’t even be occupying 7% of the cap. I don’t think you are going to find many 2Cs that are cheaper.Norris the person is worth $8 million; Norris the goal scorer is worth $8 million, Norris the assists guy and 5 on 5 impact guy I don’t think will ever be an $8 million center
i think the 2nd probably related more to JBD who is a young D and still developing, versus what we got back on D.Sens made out like bandits.

Nah, that was just a swap of non-NHL level defensemen.i think the 2nd probably related more to JBD who is a young D and still developing, versus what we got back on D.
He’s been on waivers multiple times, he has/had zero value.i think the 2nd probably related more to JBD who is a young D and still developing, versus what we got back on D.
I think he only ever went on waivers at the beginning of the 2023-24 season.He’s been on waivers multiple times, he has/had zero value.
