Huberdeau
Markstrom

That team is instantaneously better at the expense of 21 spots. Calgary takes the gamble on Norris, who if injured, goes on LTIR. Ottawa gets Huberdeau who likely scores more in Ottawa with Stutzle, Pinto, Giroux, Batherson, etc. And I don’t think I need to explain the goalie upgrade.
That trade would probably work. Norris is a straight cap dump at this point in time, even if he is healthy he is probably a 50-60 point guy so he is overpaid by about 1.5 million a year. If he is not healthy he gets you half a point a game and then is injured for the rest of the year.
