Thread: Other teams sharks trade that I like
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Green4D4</b></div><div>The way I see it, I would absolutely go after Blackwood for like... a 4th round pick and middling prospect like Kevin Riedler. That is <strong>if</strong> Korpisalo is bought out. Under current management, that won't happen as Staios has already said they are running it back with Korpi and Forsy (which is a... interesting decision).

The thing I don't get is that SJS just moved on from Hertl and now you'd want to go after an even bigger contract and question mark in Norris? It doesn't make sense for SJS to do something like this when the goal is certainly scorched earth right now. If they could, they'd absolutely move on from Vlasic and Couture... problem is no one wants those contracts.

From Ottawa's perspective, it only makes sense to move on from Norris if they get immediate help on the blue line in the form of a shutdown RHD that can pair with either Chabot or Sanderson (more for Chabot now considering Sanderson and Zub were our best and top 10 in the league in terms of offensive and defensive metrics are concerned). The other thing to keep in mind is that Norris has the "potential" to be a 30 goal scorer again, which is huge for Ottawa. One worst case scenario, he's done for his career and is put on LTIRetired forever. Even worse case scenario is that he's playing and only averages 30pts a year as a guy making just under 8 million for the next forever.</div></div>

Hertl is also older and has had multiple torn up knees. I understand the idea though, that they just shed all that cap why take back another long contract? Just seems less likely to turn into an anchor
