But would you trade Pinto over Grieg?
It feels so dirty and gross having to choose between the two of them. They are both so perfect on this roster.....
But if I had to pick one to trade, it would probably be Pinto. I just think Greig has a little bit more wow and jam to his game.
Having said that Pinto has the higher floor, just a lower ceiling than Greig imo. And he's ready now, he can be that 3rd line C we need today/next season when Norris is back. Whereas Greig may take another full season to fully grown into the role at the NHL level (like Pinto is doing this year).
I value both of them higher than our 1st pick this year, not by much but nonetheless if they were being traded in any deal deal, then the 1st would have to become next year's 1st.
You don't get a high 1st rounder in a deep draft AND one of Greig/Pinto and some throw-ins for any of the Dmen being talked about. That's too much value, and that should be a mid to late 1st if we're giving up a near surefire NHLer with great upside in addition to that.
