Ottawa Senators president and general manager Steve Staios shut down a rumour Monday that centre Shane Pinto has requested trade.

Pinto is once again a restricted free agent this summer after going into the season unsigned last fall before he was handed a 41-game suspension for violating the NHL's gambling policy. He signed a one-year, $775,000 deal to resume playing as soon as the suspension ended, finishing the season with nine goals and 27 points in 41 games.

“I was made aware of something that was out there, that has been refuted now, but the negotiations continue to move on,” Staios said. “Sometimes these things take time, but Shane knows what we think of him, and we’ll continue to work at it.”

“He didn’t ask for a trade.”

Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reported last month the Boston Bruins asked about Pinto's availability as the two teams worked towards a Linus Ullmark trade, but were told he was not available. Garrioch now adds(opens in a new tab) that contract talks are currently at an impasse, with Pinto's agent looking for an offer sheet which the Senators would match.

The 23-year-old forward broke out in 2022-23, his first full season in the league, with 20 goals and 35 points in 82 games. He has 30 goals and 70 points in 140 career games with Ottawa.

The Franklin Square, NY native was selected 32nd overall by the Senators in the 2019 draft.

He didn't say it... He declared it.

Dreger mentioned Mason Shaw as a depth signing for the Leafs.

Pretty solid AAAA signing. Not a big guy but a good skating forechecker. I think he's pretty good on the PK as well.

Turns 34 in December, he was drafted the same year as Tavares.

4x8 for JT next year!

He was ours if we wanted him, but Burke refused to deal Schenn and our first for the pick, as he thought Schenn was too good to give up.

 

[francis246]

Why? His defensive game has massively declined. At this point, that's too much for him.

You’re right, he’s not exactly what he used to be

 

[Warden of the North]

I still see Liljegren as the odd man out.

So Nick and Tim probably traded this summer. Those two together isn't a bad package, really.

 

[ToneDog]

I expect Sammy will do quite well next season.

Hopefully but Vegas might not be the best place for somebody who's head was messed up last year.

5’10. No thanks
Don’t we already have Mason Shaw in the form of Connor Dewar and Pontus Holmberg?

 

[mydnyte]

I'd like the Leafs to sign Hart to a league min deal to 'own' his rights

The desert has healing properties, he just has to stay off the strip or downtown……..

It's depth likely heading to the Marlies. You always need some. He's only 25 years old.

Zero percent chance of that happening, don’t even think the league would allow that to happen. Would be a PR nightmare

 

[TheShape]

Any potential Marner deal will involve money coming in/going out. 11m in cap space isn't much use to us now given the UFA crop has been picked clean.

 

[SprDaVE]

Gross and a 0% chance this is something they ever think of doing, I can guarantee you that.

 

[LeafsFan89]

Common trades!

 

[Nineteen67]

I like Hedman, but the east will be a little weaker next year than it was this year. The Metro teams don’t scare anyone, Florida and Tampa don’t look like they’ll be contenders and the next wave, Det, Tor, Ott, Buff, Philly, is stuck in neutral.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Anaheim is about 6.5m below the cap floor, I mean if that's not a good place to send Kampf, I'm not sure where is.

 

[Trapper]

I think we're still short a forward

Either we force Robertson to play, we give a guy like Cowan or Grebyonkin a go or we bring in a guy like Roslovic whose a C/W and gives us some positional flexibility if Domi isn't going to play center

Give him the opportunity. If he wants a trade make him earn it. Either he plays well enough to keep a spot or he’s moved where he gets one by default.

 

[jaric1862]

McGroaty still out there

 

[OVO16]

Pretty sure it was more than that. Read 8M

So yeah trade Kampf there now

 

[SprDaVE]

I still see Liljegren as the odd man out.

I don't get those vibes listening to Treliving and Liljegren post extension interview. Not to say it can't happen but seems like they want to keep the balance they currently have.

 

[Rare Jewel]

McGroaty still out there

Yeah, he is.

But they used their 1st for other things, so...

 

[mydnyte]

Zero percent chance of that happening, don’t even think the league would allow that to happen. Would be a PR nightmare

it shouldnt be a PR nightmare... that whole case should have been thrown out based on the video evidence, the kids are getting their lives ruined.
I dont condone what they did, I think its just nasty, but, it certainly wasnt illegal.

 

[Trapper]

4x8 for JT next year!

My guess is JT will get 7 next year. Essentially becoming the “old” Nylander contract of the bunch while Willy makes 11.5.
Then pay Marner 12.5 - 13:

Enjoy.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Hopefully but Vegas might not be the best place for somebody who's head was messed up last year.

Wanna bet......
