Not gonna lie if Norris is available I'd be interested.
On the other hand there's his shoulder, or shoulders...

I like him but 8M$ for a 2C is a lot

Too much money. Too many injuries.

Yeah, but for a mill at this point and in another reason, or two it will be fair.
The shoulder injuries are why I say no, but it's intriguing as he could be a cheap get.
Could be.
And those shoulders are why
And given the Habs history with injury you know he's f***ing up a shoulder carrying his bag to the taxi.

Yeah could be, I wouldn't be toooo worried about it, but his injury history his also worrysome.
Or maybe we galaxy brain this and use his injuries to Tampa/Vegas load our team for the playoffs
I'm really curious to see what type of return he fetches, if traded.

I’m going to be quite sad to see Jiricek go somewhere else when the Habs have the ammunition to get it done and a need for RD

If it's a prospect for prospect swap for Jiricek, I could actually see Mailloux + being somewhat realistic. Timmins is the guy who put his neck on the line to draft Mailloux and he seems to have an important position in Columbus. Or maybe he has PTSD and wants nothing to do with him. 
He is not lazy. He is tentative because he is afraid to get hurt as posters keep posting. the question is will he get over the fear of injury.

I’d do that if Olivier signed long term.
Plenty of times he has coasted back on the back check, doesn’t battle along the boards, looks disinterested. etc. He is lazy and soft.
Being afraid to get hurt doesn’t stop someone from giving it all on the back check.

While I prefer Jiricek, it’s a tough sell to the fanbase when Mailloux is currently performing better than him.If it's a prospect for prospect swap for Jiricek, I could actually see Mailloux + being somewhat realistic.

Performing better in terms of production? Yes, but Mailloux struggles a lot defensively in the AHL. Jiricek has looked significantly better defensively. Hell Jiricek handled a men's league better defensively than Mailloux handled a junior league defensively.

Depends if HuGo thinks Mailloux will ever have passable defence at the next level. They may not and they aren't the ones who drafted him.

I didn't know that he gets 8M, missing capfriendly, how the f*** did he mange that, he must have one heck of an agent or he really took off in the NHL and I just somehow missed it (I do not watch or follow the NHL much at all so it is possible)

I have brought up the Jackets and Timmins but I don't know about Mailloux, if you go back to right after the draft, when they interviewed Timmins he looked pissed and when they asked him why they drafted him due to his legal issues, Timmins didn't have an answer. I would have to go back and see it as my memory could be off but I recall at the time thinking it was a bad look for the organization.
Struble is a guy I could see Timmins pushing for but after getting Harris, I guess they don't need him.
His last ELC season he had 35 goals, 55 points in 66 games.
They gambled he would eventually build on it and stay healthy, but neither has happened yet.

I find it dumb. Like Ottawa wanting to tank. Jiricek isn't a NHL caliber player, Norris is.
