Should The Ottawa Senators Consider Starting Josh Norris On The Wing? | LOSP CLIP

a lot of people are saying hey why don’t you move Shane Pinto as the second line Center and move Josh Norris to the wing now in our depth chart we’ve moved Ridley Greg to the wing where he played at times last season and I just want to say I understand where fans are coming from moving Josh Norris to the wing the only problem is he’s never played Wing in his entire life I think it’s more likely that we see one of the situations like with Timmy where he plays center but there’s a guying faceoffs for him I think that’s probably the way I would lean because think about where Josh Norris thrives on the ice he thrives with speed exiting the zone and entering the Zone I don’t want to take that speed outside of the middle of the ice he’s also a guy who I think could pop out and find shooting Lanes a little bit easier in those more difficult areas the way he can get his Puck off his stick so to me I’m not ready to have that yet I’m I’m gonna trust the doctors and say if they can fix up his shoulder proper he should be a centerman if you have to change positions because of a potential injury you might not be 100% or well enough to play that’s kind of the the direction I’m taking on this yeah I think a lot of fans want Norris on the wing I don’t I don’t think necessarily the team is that interested in it or Norris is but I’ll I’ll play devil’s advocate for that uh argument Ross and I’ll argue on the side that Norris should be a Winger not because of the injuries but just I think he’s a guy that that I Envision you mentioned in in the middle of the ice might be better for him I think him being a rush player and just coming into the blue line and getting that puck on on net from the wing that could be something he could have Success With It tones back his defensive responsibilities as well um and Geor Josh Norris is still good in faceoffs like it’s not like his face off numbers have plummeted because of his shoulder injury now yeah fans are just nervous every time he takes one that’s what I was going to say it still puts a lot of pressure on those shoulders and that torque on uh his shoulders might be tough so maybe you put him on a wing with Brady Andor jaru somewhere well I guess Norris would probably play the left side or well wait let’s have this discussion if he goes to the wing what Wing do you want him on that’s the thing it’s like he’s already never played the wing now you’re gonna put him on his off Wi but as a shooter I know how but as a guy who’s trying to pick up pucks off the wall when the D’s them around easier said than done yeah yeah but hey Josh Norris was paid nearly $8 million to score goals Ross so I want to put him in the best position to score goals Josh nor Norris kov or Norris slav get him the russan uh factor and get him playing on his off- wi so he can tee up those one-timers he better be doing that on the power play let me start off with that if we see Josh Norris on the left side of the power play I’m gonna I’ll go crazy yeah I’m gonna lose my I’m gonna lose my mind if that happens again um but yeah I think the reason Ross I guess my main argument for putting Norris on the wing is the way it shapes out the rest of the roster like if you had a line Brady Timmy giru is your Top Line Norris on the wing pinto batherson and then a third line of Pon Greg amadio would just be awesome and then the fourth line I mean that’s not really affected by how the Norris position shakes out but I just think your top nine if you set it up that way would be very very interesting and well balanced I also think there’s an argument to be had that Ridley Greg centering David Pon would be maximum chaos having those two on a line together but these are in-game adjustments too that Travis Green can decide how he feels is necessary and I mean we can do a whole show and we will later this summer on who has the inside track on that fourth line Center position because I don’t think you can count out Adam God dead even we didn’t mention yesterday when the contract came through he’s got history with Travis Green I think at least half of his NHL games were under Travis Green while playing for the Vancouver Canucks so he knows what this coaching staff is all about too and you got to think he signed here wanting to push for that NHL job after scoring the most goals in the American Hockey League last year so there’s so much Fascination to me with the center position here and whichever way you slice it they’re getting a good Winger out of the center position and you can never have too many natural centerman on the team you’ll need them especially with the injury concerns that we’ve seen down the middle for the senators in years past as yes I will say once more the Ottawa Senators in 53 games with all of stla pinto and Norris are 32 18 and three wow absolutely Bonkers so we’ll see how this all continues that’s why for now py all those games all 53 of those games all three of those guys were playing Center none of them played the wing in any of those 53 games so my depth chart on day one at cam will have stla Norris Pinto down the middle I rest my case do you have any final would the would the um defense have any final deliberations no I think that’s that is what’s going to happen Ross uh I would put it as very likely that that’s the way it shakes but maybe as the season goes on injuries happen Travis Green tries to change things up a little maybe we see that happening but I think for the most part Norris on the wing is is a fan Theory at this point
