The fact that you refuse to acknowledge that Norris has missed WAY more games the Hughes and is no way comparable at all is saddening. No use responding to someone who is clearly trolling because he doesn't like facts.
Norris vs Hughes games played
2020-21 : 56 vs 56 (full season for both)
2021-22 : 66 vs 49
2022-23 : 8 vs 78
2023-24 : 50 vs 62
So outside of 2022-23 where he got injured after 4 games then tried to come back but finally got shut down, Norris actually played 5 more games than Hughes
Both players have been injury prone, only difference is that Norris nearly missed a full season
Important to note that we're comparing an elite #1C and a #2C
People don't rag on the Sens prospects because of that, they are critical because there's nothing in the system to support those guys.
The Sens aren't a contender and don't have any players in their system to make them one. That's why people are worried about their lack of prospects.
I have been extremely critical since 2021 (to the point of frustrating some other Sens fans) but come on...
Stützle (22), Tkachuk (24), Batherson (26), Norris (25), Pinto (23), Greig (21), Halliday (22), Ostapchuk (21)
Sanderson (22), Chabot (27), Zub (28), Kleven (22), Yakemchuk (18), Donovan (20), Andonovski (19)
Ullmark (30), Sogaard (23), Merilainen (21)
What is extremely annoying is to have witnessed Pierre Dorion squander a lot of the possible wealth. They could easily have the best future in the NHL but Dorion happened (Tyler Boucher 10th OA, DeBrincat, Chychrun, Duchene, Zibanejad, Dadonov fiascos, plus so many other bad/stupid moves)
They still have a possible great future, very reliant on how good Stutzle and Sanderson become but I'm personally not re-assured yet that they have the right management to offset 7 years of utter-incompetence
