I think Ive mentioned this before, but he seems slightly built for a hockey player.  I can see why he’s got a notorious injury history.

Don’t let his build fool you, he’s reputed to be one of the strongest players in the league.

Maybe that's his issue.  Has he built up his muscles too much for his frame?  

(Kind of like how Joe Klecko did back in the day for the J-E-S-T jest Jest JEST.)

I actually considered that as I was typing.

It would be such a bonus if he could stay healthy and be a factor. He could be our first or second center.

Completely healthy he is a mid to low number one or a high number two. Hard to know for sure, however, since he’s never been completely healthy for more than sixty games.

While I haven’t had a whole lot of up close interaction with NHL players, everything I’ve seen suggests all these dudes are super thin.  I thought Josh looked above average in musculature for a hockey player.

Always say, if you designed the perfect shinny hockey player in the lab from the ground up, that’s Josh Norris 

Throw that toque on and get out there on the club rink and embarrass everybody

With all due respect, I’m sure I’ve seen worst takes on this board but I can’t think of one at the moment.

Worse*

For the record your takes are always among my favourite. Comic relief is an underrated aspect of this board.

First of all, shinny implies no contact , free wheeling so obviously Connor McDavid would be unstoppable.

Second, Norris’ game is high end, two way so he’d be lost.

Third, sorry for the auto-correct, I missed that.

Fourth, not surprised you took it personally, have a good weekend.

If McDavid didn’t dominate it would be the guy whose parents couldn’t afford ice hockey so he spent fifteen years playing ball hockey while playing on the pond in the winter. Those guys have sick hands and can do incredible things with the puck.

Ok, I laughed reading this. Thanks.

I noted the segment about the draft where they mentioned he was among the strongest in the draft.

He just looks like he’s built on a slight frame to me.  Even moreso than Cozens looked in his time here.

No arguing that but as Ink said, a lot of hockey players seem built that way.

I randomly bumped into Miro Satan in Florida one time when he was there for the all-star game and I was on vacation.  I couldn't believe how skinny he was.
