Well, need some input I guess
Only 3 Sens players have more ES goals than Pinto this season : Stutzle, Tkachuk and Giroux
His xGF% is positive, he's playing in a role he wasn't ready for as a rookie, after missing a whole season
If he was a staple on the first PP, he'd have well over 40 pts by now. But the PP1 is stacked so no.
Chicago would probably be a good candidate with a Connor Murphy just as an example.
Doubt you'd find many Sens fans who would do Pinto for Murphy
We are zero interested in trading Pinto.
Brock Faber for Shane Pinto
Thomas Chabot (26)
Jake Sanderson (20)
Jakob Chychrun (24)
Artem Zub (27)
Erik Brannstrom (23)
Tyler Kleven (21)
Jacob Bernard-Docker (22)
Lassi Thomson (22)
Guenette, Donovan, Hamara and Nordberg are also intriguing
Ottawa is not looking for D-men right now. They need new coaching and better 2-way ability among the forward group
Sure, just like it would be a sensible take for someone to prefer Arber Xhekaj over Jake Sanderson. Just a complete toss-up based on what kind of role you need filled...
I suggest you come back on this later. Pinto just missed a full season with a bad injury, 21 y/o is a crucial developmental season. Norris injury this season also forced him to play against way higher competition than he was supposed to
Caufield is an offensive forward, he will most likely be a ~top-15 goal scorer for years. Pinto will be a 2-way force extremely valuable to a coaching staff. Think Phillip Danault, a guy who was undervalued by a fanbase for years until he was gone.
I’m a Senators fan. Always have been. post history is there.
How many Sens fans are not aware that the Sens will need Shane Pinto going forward, much more than trade him for another D-man?
