The Ottawa Senators continue to form and lock up a formidable top-six forward group. Today they announced the signing of center Josh Norris to an eight year extension with a cap hit of $7.95 million.


The max-term extension, which is paid entirely in base salary, has the following breakdown:
2022-23: $5MM
2023-24: $6.5MM
2024-25: $9.5MM
2025-26: $9.5MM
2026-27: $9.5MM
2027-28: $8.75MM
2028-29: $7.85MM
2029-30: $7MM
General manager Pierre Dorion gave a statement on Norris' signing:
"We're very pleased to come to a long-term agreement with Josh. He's a versatile forward who continues to mature into an exceptional NHL player. His scoring prowess has already shown to be a considerable asset for us and one that will help us reach the next level. His dedication and the pride he takes in his physical conditioning will serve as a great example for our next wave of young players."

Norris led the Senators in goals last season with 35, along with 20 assists for 55 points in 66 games.
He'll only build on those point totals as he'll return as part of a fortified top-six that includes a healthy Drake Batherson, Captain Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stutzle, as well as offseason additions Alex DeBrincat and Claude Giroux.
Sens fans have to be pleased with the moves GM Pierre Dorion has made so far this off-season. The 2022-2023 season should be a good one for Ottawa as they look to return to the post season for the first time since 2016-2017.
