What Are You Thoughts On Norris?

rock star

He could be the next Pat LaFontaine. He could be the next Luke Adam.

We need, like, 20 games straight before exploring this question with any substance.

IMHO, of course.

Sample size too small.

Meh.

Is your nickname Mr. Sunshine? 🤣

He's really fast and has good hands. He's a genuine one or two C. I would rather have Tage be either the first or second C on another line.

Only has two goals. Trade him 😂

He has one specific issue, health/availability.

He's a 1st line talent with Tim Connolly's reliability (Connolly in my opinion could of been a superstar with his skill, I don't see Norris being Connolly level)  

This isn’t directed at you, but there’s a whole lot more Tim Connolly supporters now than he ever had when he was playing here.

Given his history and how skinny he looks, it seems impossible that he would stay healthy through a regular season and especially those extra games after the regular season that some other teams get to play in.

Kyle Connor called him a power forward last night and I couldn’t square that with the fact he’s a bean pole. Maybe he’s got the jam, but he definitely looks thin out there.

He better watch himself around Lindy

I think Norris has already established himself in terms of skill. Let’s not pretend we still need to worry that about compared to the elephant in the room.

The comparison is meaningless. Ottawa didn't think Cozens was going to be as good as Norris. They traded for a guy they thought could play regularly rather than a guy who is always on IR. Nobody has ever doubted Norris' talent, it's always about his ability to stay healthy and still is.

Healthy Norris pushes players into the roles they are most suited for. If he stays healthy they can go on a run. He has to stay healthy though. Then get him on the Sammy plan over the summer.
