Ohhh Go Sens

I get the idea of putting Giroux on L3 to try and spread the wealth offensively, but in my opinion, Giroux is too good a playmaker for Ottawa not to start the season with him and Norris together. Norris is a lethal shooter, and they both take care of things defensively really well. It just seems such a natural fit to have them together. Personally I'd see Ottawa target Tatar over Tarasenko too, to fill out that line. Not a top end point producer, but he drives play for his team on both sides of the puck really well. Tatar-Norris-Giroux gives Ottawa a dangerous 2nd line offensively that you can put out against any line in a defensive assignment too, and it let's you skew the Tkachuk-Stützle line more offensively which would benefit them. Tatar is also almost certainly cheaper too.
