We’re probably going to lose Giroux unless he takes a discount or we find a way to dump Perron’s contract.

I'm not sure how you plan/hope to make the playoffs with a forward group of Stutzle-Tkachuk-Batherson-Norris-Pinto-Greig. That's very mediocre. We'll need to inject skill

Good signing, good contract for a good young player who could be here a while & should be.

Guy can play anywhere in the lineup. Responsible defensively, has some bite to his game.
Doesn't cheat for offense. I think he still has some room to create more offensively. Has yet to break out from the wing. Coaching staff trusts him, and I see some nice room for growth as he gets more comfortable and stronger.

How is it a given that Norris is gone because Greig signed an extension?

Garrioch alluded to it in his article saying we could see him play centre down the road since the Sens want to get Norris’ money off the books. And has mentioned numerous times we are trying to trade Norris.
I personally don’t understand the logic but it could be what the team is thinking, who knows. Greig isn’t particularly good at faceoffs and hasn’t played centre all year so I’d hope they have a better contingency plan but I’m not sure.

The other night, Greig seemed to say he's more comfortable playing wing, I think it was during an intermission interview after he extended, but I'm not 100% sure.

Does it make sense to lose Norris knowing that Giroux is close to retirement either this yr or next? I expect that Forsberg G, Hamonic RD & Gregor are likely gone & who knows if they re-sign Cousins & Giroux (probably).
Perron is a guy they have to make a decision on given he has barely played this yr & has another yr on a $4 mil contract & should also be gone at the end of his contract. Again why would they move Norris when all we heard the last few games is how good Norris has been recovering from his shoulder surgeries? I'd be very surprised if he is moved.

Idk, in an interview when he signed I’m pretty sure he said he’s getting more comfortable at wing and he’s played centre his whole life so he’s comfortable there. Idk where that one was though, might’ve been a different one. Or it’s the same one but I didn’t interpret it as him preferring the wing, moreso saying he’s more comfortable at wing than he used to be.

f*** it. I'm going on the record.
I like this deal.

If he does another trolljob against Toronto it'll make the deal a lot more worth it.
Hoping for spinorama goal on an empty net after the whistle instead of a slapper.

I was just saying he is not paid like a no1 going forward thats all
I don't know that it is a given, however, my rationale is that $7.95M for a guy that will be the 3rd best center on this team is to much and since I've been told often that Norris on the wing doesn't work, I'm guessing he will be gone.
I was about to say "no" but after thinking a bit we need some dominating top 6 forwards who can carry the puck, make plays and score goals.
Or add an offensively skilled defenseman who can help the ES and PP.
