That debrincat made me chuckle.

Parayko really isnt that good. Decent 2nd pairing dman at best

The offer is slightly generous, but it does not at all fit the Blues' needs. Gonna be a pass.

Zero chance of Barkov waiving for Ottawa.

And i doubt Parayko waives for Ottawa. He'd probably go to Edmonton first.

Would love to bring Norris home to Detroit, but i don't see Yzerman moving either Berggren or Soderblom right now.

The usual nonsense of not respecting players M NTC or NMCs

Who do we think wins tonight you guys

Only Red Wings fans would want the Sens to do something this stupid

I mean, that Norris trade is interesting and only works if a 1C or 2C were acquired (cap concerns over having over 26 million at center). But, Norris is still a gamble, especially now that he has had some injury concerns. Sure he had 30 goals last year, but he isn't ppg, and he had 2 goals and 1 assist this year before getting hurt (8 games). Not exactly the return on investment the Sens expected.

I'm not saying Norris is a bust, but I really think his contract is pretty out of line right now. The return from Detroit is better than it appears. Berggren is a very good offensive player, probably good for 20-30 goals and 30-50 assists. Soderblom is a gimmick that will take several years to see what he is...Zadina needs a change of scenery and could be a Nichuskin type story. Plus a 2nd.

Basically, it boils down to Yzermanbetying that Norris has a much higher ceiling. Norris is undoubtedly the best player in the deal today, but Berggren should minimally get pretty close to Norris's production levels the last 2 seasons. I'd chalk this trade as bad for both teams right now, buy it could be a win for everyone too.

Yeah I don't think trading Parayko for Debrincat really helps the blues. We are already set on the wings and we need to improve our defense. Trading one of our better D's for an expensive winger doesn't help us.

Over the past 2 seasons Norris has played in 74 games and missed 90 games due to shoulder injuries. I'd want to see him stay healthy for a season before giving up much to get him and that's if Ottawa even wants to trade him.

It is bad for both teams at this point in time. Norris needs at least a healthy season and Berggren and Soderblom need another year in the NHL.
