Player Discussion Shane Pinto (C) - PART 2

[DylanSensFan]

My gut is telling me this injury isn't as bad as we think it might be.

Would be a very nice stroke of luck, but I'm not to sure there is all that much hope watching the injury

A month would be an extremely good prognosis IMO, any kind of seperation or dislocation and he's likely out until the playoffs (opens up some possible LTIR Shenanigans)

Derrick Brassard too.

At least Gagner is playing, Brassard officially retired

Derrick Brassard too.

It's 2AM in Drummondville Quebec. The Brassard family is fast asleep. Derick, the patriarch tosses and turns. He senses something, but he doesn't know what it is. The rest of the family doesn't feel it, they are all fast asleep. Only the animals in the home can sense that something is off. Confused, Brassard puts his head back down on the pillow, failing to notice Pierre Dorion, outside his window, holding an iPad with the Senators game streaming. Dorion picks up his phone, "Just give me the word, and he's ours".

Next you're going to say that we shouldn't sign Scott Gomez.

Yep and Cody Ceci as well

I'll happily donate my shoulder to him. Time for a transplant.

Mike Johnson on Pinto - 1st topic, talks about injury from 2:00 to 3"20.

Johnson: Sens centre ice gets thin without Norris and Pinto

NHL analyst Mike Johnson on Shane Pinto's upper body injury, getting Nikolas Matinpalo back in the line-up, is the window still open for the Lightning, Sens fans in Tampa and injuries ahead of the 4 Nations.

This sucks so bad. Our 2 best two-way centres out at the same time. PK, scoring and puck possession will all take a hit. Here's hoping they can both be back in the line-up after 4 Nations.

I'd honestly look/hope for the playoff LTIR cheat code with Pinto if it's indeed a seperated shoulder. If it's dislocated I am not sure he's back this season.

They are better off keeping him out of the lineup for the rest of the regular season if he is going to miss 6+ weeks, use his 3.75 on LTIR to go over the cap during the playoffs with a guy like Gourde added.

Right now they have 100k in cap space, if we have Pinto's 3.75 on LTIR until the playoffs we can add a 3.65 million dollar guy without sending anyone out, and then add Pinto back for the playoffs.

There are exactly 10 weeks remaining in the season, anything longterm (more than a month) should be until the end of the season, for both Pinto and the team.

Use that LTIR benefit to add a guy

Far from ideal but I’m not getting too excited until we get more news.

And let's hope when they are back they can play at 100% of their capacity. I'd rather have an AHLer than someone who can't shoot or take a hit or whatever.
