Avs say yes, no take-backsies

I think the defense is more rounded out but I think we are missing some punch at Centre without Norris. Holloway is a decent player but I dont think the Oilers would give him up for JBD and forsberg, and I dont think the sens should be relying on
him to provide third line mins yet either.

Between pinto and the cap space for a FA we will be fine in the middle

We would have some cap space in this scenario to potentially add in FA , but Im not sure there is going to be a centre available with the upside of Norris

Value wise yes but we can’t take that cap hit

Value wise yes but we can’t take that cap hit

for one year, we can. actually with plenty of space.

If landy doesn't come back, it still works pretty well for another year. And EITHER way, Norris is a heck of a lot easier to trade away than either of RyJo or Manson. I'd take this and run and figure it out later.

Manson also more than likely wouldn’t waive his NTC either. I’d like a guy like Norris as our 2C but long term I question if it’s possible or viable
