Agreed, I don't see him being a #1C right now, but I would rank him ahead of Brown (who I believe has more offensive skill and upside) because of the intensity he plays with and his it factor. He seems to be the guy you lean on in all situations. I would rank Brown or Brannstrom 4th.I don't think anyone is projecting Pinto to be an elite #1 center. I think he ends up like a prime Travis Zajac (minus the big years with Parise). Big, skilled, smart, defensively responsible 2nd line center. Better scorer, worse playmaker, similar defensively. Overall speed will stop him from getting to a Scheifele level.
