[Sens of Anarchy]

Post your best Ullmark reaction to the roster improvements since he signed

 

[Emerica]

Oh lord

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Summer of staios didn’t last long man

 

[StoicSensFan]

Well now I'm worried.

Try not to make a gambling meme, try not to make a gambling meme

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Not happening lol. His agent is trying everything he can but Pinto does not want to go anywhere and Ottawa doesnt want to trade him

I have a feeling we’re going to keep saying this until he’s out of here.

 

[Relapsing]

Come on staios, do some of that GM shit

 

[Burrowsaurus]

This rebuild is now
Tkatchuk
Sanderson
Stutzle.

And that’s it. 7 years and that’s what we have to show. 3 players

If I'm Pinto, I'm looking at the way I was treated by the organization last off season and starting to think "f*** these guys...".

 

[Sens Vader]

This is my nightmare

 

[Senscore]

You'd think a team that cheats as blatantly as the Leafs do would win more than one playoff series in 20 years

He was given support from the team despite the gambling shenanigans, other than giving him a low salary I think he was treated fairly...

I have a feeling that youre wrong.

His agent is negotiating through the media, its clear where all these insiders are “hearing things”. I’ve worked in the industry, agents are getting more and more aggressive and they can posture all they want, but ultimately the player is the one who makes the decision. I am very confident that Pinto’s preference is to stay here and I’m very confident we’ll make that happen (or trade him from a position of strength).

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Montour to Seattle.

 

[Senovision]

Well now I'm worried.

Black day in July

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

And the organization fired the guy who did his last negotiation… and cited how he handled things as a reason for the firing

? Previous regime is gone. New owner actually went to bat for Pinto as well.

Feels like the agent is playing hardball for whatever reason, suppose they want a long term deal in place

Whatever it is, it’s so tiring. Pinto might have wanted to stay here for a while, but this saga is probably pushing him away.

What GM shit. Guy is a rook POHO who hired himself as GM lol

Dorion blew through his entire budget and had nothing left over to sign Pinto.

If you're a supposedly young piece of the core, and you've seen guys like Josh Norris get handed $8M per year, would that not piss you off? I'm pissed off about it and I'm not even Shane Pinto.

 

[BigRig4]

Pinto can also accept an offer sheet imminently

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

well this is off to a great start.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

What “saga”? The one he created himself last year? Or the non-existant one right now?

Pinto is far from the best unsigned RFA right now, he’s arguably not in the top 10

 

[PlayOn]

Pinto is a weird case because we all know he’s going to be really good, and he knows it too, but the year he missed with a shoulder injury and the suspension have really set him back in terms of what he can claim he’s earned.

So his agent is trying everything, leaking that they want an offer sheet, putting pressure on the Sens with a trade threat etc. In the end I think it gets resolved.

 

[BondraTime]

but we don’t need to trade Chychrun right now.
We can be over the cap by almost $9 million until camp.

That puts the Sens in a horrible position where everyone knows they need to trade him before the start of the season and they lose any of the leverage they had.

Not having the finances in place before the start of free agency is an extremely bad position to be in.

Ok fine, everything here is normal.
