00:00What is, if I have asked you this before, I apologize, but still, like the season is ongoing, what is
00:07the ideal role for Norris?
00:11Well, he should be on number one power play.
00:13He started there, but he's not there now.
00:16I mean, they're not paying him the kind of money they're paying him and made the trade that they made.
00:21And look at Cousins' numbers right now and look at Norris' numbers right now.
00:27It should be the other way, at least.
00:30Norris should be at least up where Cousins is.
00:31I don't think Cousins should be at a goal and two assists, which is where Norris is at.
00:36But, you know, Cousins is considerably better, and Norris is healthy.
00:40I mean, he's not playing hurt or anything like that.
00:43He is healthy.
00:44It seems like he's shy to shoot now, which he shouldn't be because he's got a lead shot.
00:49He has scored 30 goals in this league.
00:52It doesn't seem like he necessarily wants to use it.
00:55I've noticed his penalty killing has at least improved, and I know that was bugging him a lot.
00:58But, as he said himself, he was costing them goals in a penalty kill.
01:03And, you know, he's a good two-way player.
01:05I don't notice him playing poor defensively, but he's not here to be a defensive forward and have no points.
01:13Yeah.
01:13And you think about it, I don't know, I don't even think of too many scoring chances that he gets.
01:19No.
01:19You know, it's not like he's even creating scoring chances for himself where you're saying, well, it's going to come.
01:24Yeah.
01:24Like Benson.
01:25Benson has all sorts of scoring chances around him, and he gets a bunch of assists, and then a couple
01:30of goals finally went in for him.
01:32You know, so you don't worry about Benson and scoring chances.
01:37But, you know, with Norris, whether he's playing wing or center or wherever he happens to wind up, it just
01:42doesn't seem to be coming.
01:44He just doesn't seem to fit with his team right now.
01:47And I don't know if he ever will or not.
01:49I can't answer that question.
01:51But right now, it just does not look like a fit for him here as a Buffalo Sabre.
01:56I mean, what should he be doing?
01:59I mean, ideally, a guy making $7.95 million should be your number one.
