No one is touching norris until he proves he can be healthy for a full season

You asked for Boone. You already know the answer.

Brannstrom can't be signed for $1M. He has to be qualified at $2.25M. Or they can take him to arbitration and the lowest amound I believe he can sign for is $1.75M and Ottawa would lose that arbitration. I like the idea of a player like Boone... but Columbus isn't giving him up unless there is a massive overpayement for him. Norris isn't an overpayment because of the injuries, and with Boqvist they likely won't want another smallish, okay-ish puck moving defenseman for the 3rd pairing. So I just think that trade is kinda off. I do however like where your head is at though in terms of team needs =)

I thik there might be some wiggle room... But agree Norris won't go for a guy like Jenner for sure. But for instance L.A.? For a guy like P-L Dubois. The coach doesn't like him, he hasn't fit in well with the team and his stats are way down. Both players are in the $8M cap hit? Both could likely use a change of scenery? I mean L.A. might bulk at it and I will be okay with that. Guess I'm just saying there might be a GM that would attempt a move like that. But no one is going to give a player like Jenner for Norris in his current predicament for sure.

Ullmark declines the Boston trade, and Columbus hang up too. Jenner is there captain, would take an overpay to get him and Norris unfortunately doesn’t have much value until he can show he can play an entire season without surgery.

chych alone has more value than ulmark ott declines

OTT declines norris deal.

Agree, I understand the fanbase emotions but Ottawa loses badly on both deals asset wise. And Ullmark controls his destiny plus Columbus has probably no intention to move Jenner
