Norris has had an abnormally high shooting percentage since his second year in college in 18-19. I don’t expect 20% every year but its not like the 35 goals were pure luck.

2019‑20 Belleville Senators AHL (20) = 31 goals in 56 GP, 19.4 SH%
2020‑21 Ottawa Senators NHL (21) = 17 goals in 56 GP, 17.7 SH%
2021‑22 Ottawa Senators NHL (22) = 35 goals in 66 GP, 20.3 SH%

What if... Josh Norris was a pretty good goal scorer? Is it more than a 3 years fluke?

 

[EK392000]

Oh dear.

64 million dollars for a guy that put up 55 points. 50% of his goals on the PP, shooting 20%???

AM I MISSING SOMETHING?

“The summer of Dorion”

McDavid only put up 48 points in his rookie season. Can you believe that?

 

[YippieKaey]

Fair deal, elite two way play and likely perennial 40+ goal scorer. Contract just a tad below Thomas and higher than Suzuki, fair deal.

If this is his future he'll be like a top 5 player in the league?

Goal scoring across the league is trending up quite a bit in recent years.

So DeBrincat is a top 5 player then?

f*** me did the Sens ever make out like bandits this summer....

"elite" was probably not the right choice of words but that's pretty much what Josh Norris did at 21-22 y/o, yes.

Yeah but i really don't think he'll be a perennial 40 goal scorer either tbh.

Isn't an elite posession player or playmaker. There's a lot more you need to be a top 5 player in the league besides goal scoring and two way play

 

[Xspyrit]

Yeah but i really don't think he'll be a perennial 40 goal scorer either tbh.

I don't think many are expecting that. Like last season, he missed games so he "only" scored 35 goals. He might have a few 40 goals seasons in his career but most likely will score around 30-35 most years.

 

[Natey]

I mean this thread is bonkers, he could have paid market value, which is obviously below the contract. But if he has another good season, now you have to pay more.

It's a gamble you need to take in the current NHL or you'll never sign players.

Yeah i agree.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

it became a steal because Mcd has been entirely responsible for his production. As much as edmonton fans try to hide this its obvious. go watch any drai all goals video.

Have you ever seen one if his filthy (backhand) passes ?

How is McDavid responsible for that.
What a laughable comment.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

This deal is looking great so far.

 

[devbouz12]

This deal is looking great so far.

Nice of you to bump this with a snide/sarcastic comment. Anything else?

 

[ottawa]

He was overrated when he got the deal, can't imagine how bad this will play out. Same with Chabot

 

[Chainshot]

Gotta go dunk on a contract extension thread checklist...
