That Senators deal is pretty terrible for Calgary, especially if that piece coming back is Norris. He just had his 3rd surgery on the same shoulder, and he certainly hasn't proven to be an 8M dollar player when healthy either.
It's amazing just how much people overrate draft picks.
Alex Debrincat returned the 7th overall pick, a 2nd, and a 3rd as a undersized one dimensional goal scorer. Yes, he was an RFA, but really only had two years of team control. Rasmus Andersson alone is worth a top 10 pick by himself with potential adds depending on where that pick is slotted.
Additionally Blake Coleman at under 3M is a vastly valuable piece that many teams would pay through the nose for.
