Bridge deal, makes sense for both sides imo

 

[BondraTime]

That's nice

Another few million to tinker with Steven

 

[Senscore]

Good let's keep going

 

[edguy]

Thats a wildly good deal if its around 3.5.

We have tons of money to play with still. This is great

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Awesome. Their desire to bridge tells me they aren't done. JBD replacement or another forward incoming imo.

 

[CallSaul]

Nice, leaves room for line 4 and a better bottom pairing RD.

It's 3.75M AAV. I've edited in the official announcement.

Now change his number to 22 before Amadio gets it.

Nice bridge for Pints

Sens have some $ to address a couple spots

 

[The Waffler]

He’s basically got Joseph money plus a mil. Deeece.

Thank you, Donald!!! You answered my prayers

lol, I was just looking up offer sheets, they can be offered as of 5:00pm today, I was wondering if there was a closing date or if open ended until the RFA has a contract.

It doesn’t matter now, really happy this got done, even though I personally hoped for term.

Thank-you for signing Pinto!

 

[Rodzilla]

nice deal!

 

[Hale The Villain]

Figured they would have extended them long-term after dumping Joseph.

Not a lot left in free agency but bridging Pinto may have opened enough room for someone like Schmidt or Schultz.

 

[Senscore]

Having him at the start of the season is going to make a big difference

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Can't wait to hear how Staios could have done this better.

 

[swiftwin]

Awesome deal

Who?

I think the Joseph dump is to open up room to bring in a defenseman.

I assume they pulled the trigger on Joseph after agreeing to something with Pinto. They weren't going to go get that defenseman without having all the ducks in a row.

 

[Micklebot]

Ok, so we have a 21 man roster with Kleven up and Ostapchuk, MacEwen filling the last spots (put in whoever you prefer on ELC or otherwise cheap deals)

That leaves 1.859 mil to upgrade a spot or two,

Do we trade JBD and sign a guy like Schmidt for ~ 2.5?
Do we go after a guy like Sprong at ~2.5 in place of MacEwen
Do we carry an extra forward?

[Wondercarrot]

Sweet

 

[HSF]

fair deal and gives us flexibility
