Rumor: Bruins interested in Pinto

[TeamRenzo]

I am. The majority of "the good" is just drafting, which the GM should not get much credit for.

His actual management and transactions leave much to be desired.


Sure. I'll worry about them in the playoffs.

Ok...

None of my points were draft-related and directly related to management and transactions so I am not really sure what you are trying to say.

Some of PD's highlights over the past few years:

- Signing TS to a steal of a contract
- Locking up the core for the next 5-8 years
- Signed Giroux
- Traded for DeBrincat
- this didn't work out but I like the fact that he took a big swing to try to improve the team
- Traded for Chychrun

Sure, he's made mistakes but if you are truly looking at a situation objectively then you have to consider the good with the bad.

you cant really say youre considering the good with the bad when you only list the good. also when you include the mishandling of the debrincat situation in with the good. thats not being objective.

I am not a Dorion fan nor am I trying to defend him. Bossram was looking for the "good moves" and I listed a few...context matters

when he was asking for results i think he meant on ice results for the sens, like making the playoffs, winning a round etc.

 

[PajamaBoy]

Damn Pinto.... they gonna lose a stud for free

 

[Tuna99]

Makes sense for Ottawa to gift a true legit Center to a division rival they have based their rebuild off of

Pinto will never be traded to Boston, these rumours are stupid. He’s playing for Ottawa next season 100%

 

[Schemp]

I wonder if Philly is offering Konecny since he likely won’t re-sign there.

I was wondering the same thing, but it doesn't make cap sense to.

He went to the conference finals, I guess? That's far less 'his' achievement than locking up the entire young core - I'd argue he was far more lucky in that instance than in all the other things brought up - but there you have it

bryan murray built that team but dorion didn't screw it up that season so dorion should get credit for the ecf appearance.

Sure, it's a small feather in his cap, but his tenure in Ottawa will be judged almost entirely on how this current core performs for the next 6-10 yrs

 

[Big Muddy]

What are the good moves? Do they notably outweigh the bad ones?

The brass tacks is this team has considered themselves a playoff contender since 2021 and it hasn't happened. They still haven't made the playoffs and they're capped out. The results speak for themselves.

Yes, one side is reasonable. It isn't the pro-Dorion crowd.

I'm not sure who you are referring to. Dorion said last year the goal was to play meaningful games late in the season (April). Fans tended to think we might squeak in, or we might not.

The cap situation this year seems to be the only accurate thing in your post.

I think you'd be surprised what some of the people you are engaging with here think. The pro-Dorion crowd is likely not as big as you think it is.

If the Sens decide to move Pinto I would trade....

Pinto & Joseph to BlackHawks for Lukas Reichel
or Pinto to Jets for Colby Barlow

These are so bad that you should just stop watching hockey

 

[SensFactor]

Pinto will sign tomm

They don’t watch. That’s the problem.

Just imagine what Pinto’s perceived value would be (on this site) if he was drafted 2nd overall in NY or Los Angeles in 2019. It would be through the roof!!

If this year, Byfield goes out and duplicates exactly what Pinto did last year, watch how much these same exact people, who devalue Pinto, would value Byfield at.

The valuation of Pinto on here, is another perfect example of how many people just don’t watch hockey anymore, but are hockey fans. Aside from watching their own team though, they value everyone else from stats, analytics, draft position, and trade value on a video game……

After the Jets, Ottawa players get this treatment the most on this site…. For obvious reasons. They’re the least watched teams. You think they would’ve learned their lesson with Dubois this summer, but obviously not. If you go back and read those Dubois threads, it’s comical. Not only because how wrong they were, but also how willing they were to argue about it for hours.

Pinto is worth a lot. Big, skilled, natural Cs, who are hard to defend, don’t grow on trees. Only 6’4”+ pair carrying dmen, who are great skaters, are harder to find.

The fact he’s already shown what he can do, in the NHL, at only 22 years old, playing the role he was, teams will line up if he’s made available, and the return will be significant.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Offer sheet him

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Offer sheet him

Pinto's not eligible to be offer sheeted.

Renaud Lavoie tweeted in both languages, strongly hinting at trade today to clear cap room to re-sign Pinto.

 

[Altimus]

He's on the training camp roster so they are expecting something to happen soon as to getting someone traded and him signed

 

[TheDoldrums]

Ottawa has based their rebuild off Boston? The team that has prevented goals better than anyone over the past decade, thats who Ottawa has been trying to emulate? If you say so.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Offer sheet him

Start the paperwork and file it!

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Pinto will sign tomm

 

[Golden_Jet]

Offer sheet him

That window has passed.

 

[Tragedy]

That window has passed.

That window never existed

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

That window has passed.

That window was never open. Pinto's not eligible for an offer sheet. If he was, he'd still be eligible to receive one now, though.
