I would hate to see Rads go after hearing all about how close him and Bedard are, but I think Norris is a shot worth taking.

True but the big question is can Norris stay healthy. 50 to 60 games a year at a almost $8M cap hit isn't ideal obviously.

Has chabot been that bad lately?

It's funny how we have the exact same thing because Tkachuk and Norris are best friends.

Hey man if you want to send them both over here I am open to it lmao

The Hawks aren't taking on 6 years and over $50m in actual salary for a player who's had one good season and seems to be injury prone. WAY TOO BIG a gamble.

True but he is a very good player when healthy. It would be a gamble. and $8M now solves the cap floor issue, but in 4 years it causes the cap ceiling issue.

Yeah, lets do a 2 for 2 swap and keep all the friendships together.

Tkachuk and Norris for Bedard and Raddysh.

I would like to rescind my previous suggestion!

Robot voice: Suggestion rescinding failed.

We must have a bad connection...

Damn, I'm only 19 years old. You might as well be talking about a telegram...and I'm not talking about the app.

Hawks really have no cap floor issue. Once they re-sign Vlasic and Reichel, they'll have at least 3 roster spots open and only $8m to spend to get to the cap floor. Easily done in free agency. I'm not convinced Norris is an $8M player even when healthy. He wouldn't have players like Brady and Batherson on his wings in Chicago for three years in a best case scenario.

Is Chabot actually defensively responsible? He's awfully expensive to the cap and plays a position Columbus doesn't particularly need. Gudbranson is half the cost and plays an important, specific role.

I have to assume that Gudbranson for Chabot 1:1 is a joke.

Trading Norris to help the Hawks hit the cap floor is interesting however.

🤣🤣🤣

Who else you want? Anybody but Bedard and we'll take both Norris and Brady.

Your franchise has legit only like 2-3 players that are worth anything.

But lets do this anyway.

Mega blockbuster:

Chicago receives:

Brady Tkachuk, Jakob Chychrun, Josh Norris

Ottawa receives:

Kevin Korchinski, Frank Nazar, Lukas Reichel, 2024 1st round pick (top 1 protected), 2025 2nd round pick.

I have no idea if the value is even close but this is what I came up with.
