Pinto for JJP?

This trade could be a solid deal for both teams, depending on their strategic direction:

  • Ottawa might benefit from Peterka's offensive upside since they want to address their wing depth.
  • Buffalo would likely see the greater short-term benefit from adding a defensive, responsible center like Pinto, but they would have to weigh the loss of Peterka’s potential in a high-scoring role.
In summary, it's a "maybe" deal, and the fit would depend on both teams’ priorities for the future.
 
No.

Pinto will be absolutely invaluable as a C. Plays all situations and has 20 points in last 27 games during our most difficult stretch. 6'3, excellent faceoffs, excellent 2 way, excellent PK.

He's as untouchable as anyone on our roster.

Sabres add two prospects

One for one Peterka for a top 6 C is interesting. His O-zone starts are balls this season which probably is hurting his production, but he is currently a 3C in production and Peterka is a top line winger for us.

I think Ottawa might do it, but would first try to acquire a winger by basically any other means.

Stutzle - Norris - Pinto - Greig - Ostapchuk looks pretty good, until you remember that Norris has missed 50% of his games over the last three years and Pinto has missed close to that over his last four. Obviously the half season gambling suspension plays into that. I love Greig, but more as a 3C/top 6 winger. And he will never be a PP option like Pinto/Norris.

Good value for Ottawa, fills a need, but if Norris' shoulder craters we will be facing a far more important and difficult to fill need.

As for Buffalo, that feels like a tough trade for them to make too.

It is not that Pinto is irreplaceable, As far as I am concerned only Stu and Sanderson are untouchable.

It is more about making a hole to plug another hole. And the new hole is a bigger risk because of Norris.
