I watch a lot of Ottawa and Norris would be perfect to play behind Suzuki. The problem is Norris gets hurt a lot.
If you can get him for pennies on the dollar it might be worth the risk.
He's physical, he's good on faceoffs (I believe around 55%), left-handed shot and he has a nice shot, too.
I went and looked and he's just over 52%, so still good.
He's 2nd on the sens in hits and the Habs want to be hard to play against and that's part of it.
His 132 hits would put him 3rd, 1 above Anderson, but Norris has also played about 8 games less.
At 6'1 he's not another smaller body like CC. On pace to play 74 games, but given that the Habs and Sens are fighting for the same spot there isnt going to be a deal like that to happen, unless both teams feel like they're winning.
Would also inquire about Ostapchuk.
