Ottawa Senators

Ottawa could trade Pinto for an impact winger and keep White as 3C and not be in a bad spot imo. I don't think they will or even should, but everything but the point totals suggest that he's a lot better than he's credited for. With health, I think a Formenton-White-Brown 3rd line would be pretty money next year.


Still think the buyout is coming and he's gonna go figure it out in Boston, and I think Pinto is gonna stay in Ottawa too.

I like Pinto moving to the wing too.

If we acquire nobody then I hope this would happen :

Tkachuk - Norris - Joseph
Greig - Stutzle - Batherson
Formenton - Pinto - Brown
Kelly - Kastelic - Watson
Gambrell

I like White but he's not a Top-6 forward and should be on the 3rd line. However, I would rather have all of Formenton, Pinto, Brown and Joseph (if we acquire someone) on the 3rd line too. Nick Paul too if we could re-sign him. So we might have to think about saving money (owed 15.75 M$ for the next 3 years)

Might as well buy him out or trade him in a package to get a Top-6 Winger (with the 7th OA pick and another asset? Like Brannstrom for example)

I think Boston would be very interested in Boston local Colin White, if he were to be bought out, with Bergeron’s future unclear.





Hurting his shoulder on a faceoff definitely gives me pause. Let’s swap Pinto and White in my lineup…




Definitely a lot of 3rd line forwards and bottom pair defencemen on this team, lol
