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
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
