Pinto is a defensively sound two way rookie who just scored 20 goals. He is going to be on a cheap contract the next two years too. The sens have no forward depth they cant trade him for a goalie who lost his job this year playing behind a historically good team. There are lots of similar goalies available in free agency.
I wouldn't consider being playing behind the soon-to-be Vezina winner as "losing his job".
There isn't a single goalie with Swayman's track record available in free agency this year.
You don't have to agree with trading Pinto for him, but he'd be far and above the most attractive goaltending target for most teams should he be put on the market.
The question isn't whether Swayman is a good young goalie. He is. The question is he worth what you'd have to trade for him + what his contract expectations would be.
I'd argue that Pinto + Samsonov would be a better bet for the next 3-4 years than just Swayman, and they'll likely be making a similar amount.
I think Hart is out , just for the reason he was on the same team as Formenton and Bath. I don’t see that happening until the report is released.I wonder if Dorion would be even be interested in Hart given the Murray gamble didn't work out.

I like Dubois or Keller! But I don't think we could get Hellyebuyck for Debrincat. But I would pull that trigger.Proposal #1:
To Winn: Alex DeBrincat RW/LW
To Ott: C. Hellyebuyck G
Hellyebuyck - Forsberg
***** OR *****
To Winn: A. DeBrinat RW/LW
To Ott: PL DuBois C/LW
Tkachuk - Stutzle - Giroux
Dubois - Norris - Batherson
Formenton - Pinto - Sokolov
Jiri - Kastelic - Gauthier/Kelly
Proposal #2
To NYR: DeBrincat RWLW
To Ott: Chytil LW & 2nd rd 2024
Tkachuk - Stutzle - Giroux
Chytil - Norris - Batherson
Formenton - Pinto - Sokolov
Jiri - Kastelic - Gauthier/Kelly
Proposal #3
To Detroit: Alex DeBrincat RW/LW

To Ottawa: Clayton Keller LW/RW

Keller - Norris - Batherson
Formenton - Pinto - Sokolov

Dubois is in the same boat as DeBrincat. Doesnt make sense other than aragorn's boner for the bigboisI like Dubois or Keller! But I don't think we could get Hellyebuyck for Debrincat. But I would pull that trigger.
DeBrincat to Winnipeg doesn't really make sense at all, unless they have the sercret sauce for a pre-negotiated extension. They'd just be swapping pending ufa needing to be dealt for pending ufa needing to be dealt.Dubois is in the same boat as DeBrincat. Doesnt make sense other than aragorn's boner for the bigbois
that is way too much for hartTo Philly
2024 1st Rounder.*
JBD
Pick one of Merilainen/Soogard
Joseph
To Ottawa
Hart
Philly gets a rebuild package. JBD is a promising defence prospect who will be 23 next year he will be a NHL dman for many years. Jospeh is a cap dump. I am the biggest Leevi fan on this board but I am ready to move one of him or Soogard if it means getting a legit goalie. Joseph is the cap dump and gives Philly a serviceable vet.
*1st is Conditional on Sens making the playoffs and Hart playing in 29+ games. If conditions not met it turns into a second.
He's essentially proposing a mid to late round first and a goaltending prospect that is not ranked in the top ten in the league. Joseph cap dump cancels JBD out.that is way too much for hart
even if you use joseph to cancel out JBD (Joseph didnt have that bad of a season imo but lets go down this road)He's essentially proposing a mid to late round first and a goaltending prospect that is not ranked in the top ten in the league. Joseph cap dump cancels JBD out.
That's not too much for one of the best young goalies in the game imo.
Big overpay.To Philly

He’s not, he’s your everyday, middle of the pack starter.Hart isn't even that good.
