dudacek Posted 4 hours ago Author Report Posted 4 hours ago Norris is not a playmaker, full stop. Never has been. He has topped 20 assists in a season just once, including AHL and college. He has just 67 assists in 239 NHL games. Quote
dudacek Posted 4 hours ago Author Report Posted 4 hours ago (edited) There is such a thing as a player not being talented enough to play with your most talented players. Never stopped Jochen Hecht from playing with Brière, or Mike Grier from playing with Drury. Or Evan Rodrigues from skating with the top guys in Florida. People shouldnt be basing their line choices entirely on offence. Line chemistry and matchup success is what matters. In theory I have no problem with Greenway playing with more talented players if he supplies what the line needs. Edited 4 hours ago by dudacek 1 Quote

And on good teams, at least two of the top line's players can typically take on more than one of those roles. Quote
