That people read his stuff still baffles me. Not only does he rank predominantly on emotion/who he likes, he also openly admits that he doesn't watch certain leagues throughout the year. He has mentioned he doesn't watch Jake Sanderson in his NCAA games. Surprise, that's why year after year Wheeler ranks him considerably lower than he should be.
Pinto at 23 is absurd. He should crack the top 10 of that draft after people see him play this year.

Should be a huge addition.
Man we have an amazing bunch of forwards ready/almost ready to go.

Does it seem odd to anyone else just how much production went in to that video?
The lighting, angles, etc...that was like a vanity clip if he was selling himself.
Happy to see he is working hard but clip is from his management team or something.

The original clip was from iucci_hockey19. It is the instagram page for Jimmy Iucci. There is a brief blurb that says:
It seems like the vanity that you are referring to is just a skills coach trying to promote himself.

He could crack the top 10 eventually, but I wouldn't say it's a given. Pinto is still unproven and some very solid players from that draft.
This was Wheeler's top 10 FWIW:
Hughes
Zegras
Seider
Boldy
Caufield
Byram
Knight
Cozens
Newhook
Kakko
Not a lot of people outside Ottawa fans are going to put Pinto in there at the moment. And there's a few other good players that will also work their way into the conversation.

Oh God, don't say that lol. I recall a vid of Lazar practising one on one with a tendy and losing control of the puck constantly.
Does anyone feel his movements seems kinda slow in this vid?
I had to watch it again. Maybe not slow but maybe not explosive?
Jeez i wish the season would start.

It definitely lacks that outward burst, but the skill is clearly on display. I bet this is more a case of making it look effortless than a matter of coasting or lack of energy.Does anyone feel his movements seems kinda slow in this vid?

Pinto is my fav young player to watch on this team. He's going to be pushing for the top 6 IMO sooner than later. He has an extremely high hockey IQ, size, two-way game and speed. If he didn't get hurt, I think he would have had a monster year.

Did he even watch the world championships? I dont know if I have ever seen anything more obvious than Seider projecting to be very good when he was that type of player as a 17 year old against men. Also I watched the U18 US team a handful of times and it was blatantly obviously Boldy and Zegras were way better than Turcotte. How is he employed for this as a living. Hilarious to see who he still has Pinto behind. So excited for what he is going to bring this season. The sens should be really strong in the faceoff circle adding him and Giroux.

He is also a bigger guy, he carries his speed really well and has a long powerful stride. The type of skill training for a guy his size would be different than a smaller player. You can see some hard cuts he makes going into the corner for the puck as he only needs to get a small edge on the player as he protects the puck well.
I mean he doesn't deserve to be in the top 10 yet but he certainly should be in the teens. He definitely has the talent and skillset to get there.
