Why is it everything in Bold.

Sens pass easily.

Bruins have to add. pinto is better, marginally based off potential.
I think fredric is 30-45 points, pinto is probably 50-60 point potential

Bruins have to add. pinto is better.

McLaughlin?

McLaughlin?

ehh, I would say the difference ( age and potential) is probably 3rd rounder realistically. not sure if Mclaughlin makes the difference tbh. bottom 6 potential, but hes 25 and has touched the NHL for 4 games.

Now take into account that Frederic is a UFA.

 

[SensFactor]

Pinto for Geekie.

Both are still RFAs in contract status

take into account fredric currently has better career numbers with an average of 4 minutes less per night than pinto.

 

[stempniaksen]

Rightly or wrongly Sens management view(ed) Pinto as borderline untouchable as recently as 2.5 months ago. Last summer they offered him 6,7 and 8 years deals because they view him as part of the core of this team and think he's part of the solution here.

Despite the rough start to this season, he's not being moved for a 3rd line UFA to be, even one as good as Frederic.

At Pinto's age Frederic had a career high of 18 points.
Pinto also had more goals in his true rookie season than Frederic has ever reached.

I'm not discounting Frederic at all here, I love the player and have plenty of posts from the last 2 years wanting him in Ottawa. Pinto has some more room to develop and Sens management presumably sees more in him than the player he's been this season. "Better career numbers" is also a bit misleading because it doesn't take into account Pinto scoring at a higher PPG pace, he's just dealt with injuries and suspension.
