- Norris is 100% the 2nd line Center. Giroux has mostly played wings for years.

- 3 years bridge is the worst possible bridge. Gives the player too much leverage for his next deal. Pinto will most likely be signed 1 year at 1.5 or less, or 2 years if they have enough space

- No way they make the playoffs with that 3rd line that would get destroyed defensively. First line is already not great defensively...

- Greig will already be AT LEAST 3rd line quality

- Defense is good like that but I'd personally have JBD with Sanderson and Zub with Brannstrom for existing chemistry


So you don't make the second trade and go with :

Tkachuk - Stutzle - Tarasenko
Kubalik - Norris - Batherson
Greig - Pinto - Giroux
Sokolov - Kastelic - Bailey

Finally, I'd rather trade Kubalik than Joseph so Joseph would have his spot.

Well with Norris and his shoulder u assume giroux is going to play 25% of the season as Center

Gotta think he would just take face-offs
