First of all, was he really the best pick of his draft?
Second, what did management see in him to give him that big contract? I don’t see it.
What I see is a big slow wuss, afraid of contact, with some offensive talent.
Unfortunately those back-to-back losses to Montreal are huge. Sabres 9 points back right now. Had they won both those Montreal games in regulation, they’d be only 6 pts back.
But, here we are riding out the schedule of the 14th straight non-playoff season.
I was there back in I think ‘84. Their alcohol laws were weird. We went to a bar and they couldn’t sell you alcohol but would sell you the setup. You had to buy your alcohol elsewhere and bring it in.
So, there’s nicely dressed women walking around with brown paper bags with bottles of liquor.
The reviews of that Cozens/Norris trade said Norris was a better talented offensive player but was injury prone.
He played 3 games and we haven’t seen him since.
