If Ottawa buys out Joshua Norris ( incented to do so before 7/1 at only 33% vs 66%), would you considering signing to a medium term contract knowing he would likely spend a good amount of the season on LTIR?
It's a gamble that could resolve the C position nicely for several years until a prospect is ready for that position.
Curious to know.

why would they do that

No it wasn’t. Greenway just signed a deal and Minnesota who was in a playoff race couldn’t wait to get rid of him.

. The Minnesota Wild have traded struggling power forward Jordan Greenway to the Buffalo Sabres for a 2023 second-round pick and a 2024 fifth-round pick, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.


The move allows the Wild to clear some cap space ahead of a crunch that is coming after the club bought out Zach Parise and Ryan Suter last year.

Greenway, six-foot-six, is in the first year of a three-year, $9-million contract but has made a minimal impact this season, scoring only two goals and seven points in 45 games

well, yes, he wasn't scoring well there. But he was still on one of the best checking lines in the league. He had a history of scoring before, and he has scored at a higher clip here.. I don't know what your issue is - a second rounder is just about right.

The deal proposed being an easy yes from a Sabres fan perspective means it's too light and will take more then proposed, and likely something a Sabres fan would not want to give up.

If Greenway is anywhere but the 4th line this year we probably extend the record

why would they do that

Norris is a decent 2c. If they could get him on decent deal and let him recover from 2nd shoulder surgery on LTIR (ala Tuch) he'd be a gem when healthy.
Gotta have good C's... And he is

He's got a really bad shoulder, multiple injuries to it. Depends on the Contract

I was going back earlier than that, which is where he had similar (if not better) scoring numbers than Tage. He checked a lot of the boxes that we needed / need. I think that if you get a guy with his size, speed, physical play, and PK ability for a second rounder, that isn't bad. Again, we needed (and still need) so many of those things. I think the problem is that Meatballs thought that there is more potential in there, and I don't think there is. I was happy with his play before they started moving him up.

I don't love that because of his contract status. The reports are that he should be in line for 7.5ish per?

A 5th rounder by itself might not have been enough but to think Greenway was ever worth a 2nd round pick and then some is just mental

It’s like trading a 2nd and 5th for Zemgus…

His two best years point wise were in Minnesota. The final pick of the second round was fair value tho, I do agree

- ieetbred

Agreed. He can play as high as 3rd line if there is an injury. He should be on your 4th line if you're expecting playoffs.

Should very rarely if ever see the top 6.
