Holy f***

 

[LeProspector]

Lmao

 

[Icelevel]

This is real life?

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Wowwwww

 

[camZ]

200 IQ play by PD. He’ll offer pinto $17 an hour and he’ll sign!

 

[jbeck5]

Lmao why would a player do this?

 

[swiftwin]

What the actual f***.

 

[Mingus Dew]

This can't be real.

He pulled a Ridley?

 

[Alf Silfversson]

Oh well. Guess all the trade talk can settle down.

Question: Do we still need to sign him to contract before Dec. 1 to make him eligible for the rest of the season?

Looking more and more like a lost season for Shane Pinto. Or maybe Switzerland?

 

[slamigo]

High character core player...

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Well thank God for Ridly Greig.

 

[OD99]

I guess we should assume the Senators knew something about this? Is there a chance that is why they weren't making moves?

On the flip side, it would be much better to have him signed and get this thing going.

What a circus!

He needs to sign a contract to start serving his suspension. I don't think he can play in Europe while he's suspended, if he has an NHL contract.

They rescinded all offers today, so if they knew they were still trying to sign him

 

[BankStreetParade]

Oh good, what we need is for this situation to get even more complicated. Jesus Christ.

 

[King Karl]

Why does being a Sens fan have to suck so much..

Doesn't that mean we can just sign him at whatever he wants, and he won't have a cap hit until 41 games from now?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Did anyone even know? I mean our own owner talked about getting him signed lol.

Also. How can you not love this team. It’s legit the most fascinating group in pro sports

If we assume they knew Formenton was at risk then surely we need to assume they knew Pinto was at risk.

I think the league rules on whether suspensions for off-ice conduct will continue to count against the cap or not. I'm not 100% sure.

Where did you here they rescinded offers? And why would they. I mean he gambled in sports. He didn’t…you know…team Canada stuff

 

[SensFan1010]
