Norris comes with a pretty high price tag of $8M x 7. He's 24, and he's having a down year with 23P in 37GP. I think he will be a #1C, but I can also see it being a massive overpay, especially if his game doesn't rebound. Backlund and Coleman would also need to agree to a trade.
It's all extremely unlikely, but what assets would you be willing to give up for a guy like Norris?

To some extent the conversations between the team and Backlund when he extended are important. I think the NMC was likely pretty important and not just from a "I need to choose my destination" aspect. Backlund may want to end his career here. That said, both players have 10 team lists. I'm betting most contenders will be on those lists. Ottawa - probably not.
