Pinto signs for less this year and bets on himself to get a long-term higher deal next summer. He does a solid for the Sens and gets rewarded with the higher cap next year.

Start with Joseph up with Norris to try and get him going to start. If it doesn't work, there are lots of ways to mix up the top 9. Greig comes up with any injury in the top 9.

For the D config, I like the old-school Tampa style of having a stud on each pairing and Chycrun can come up and play with Sanderson on double duty replacing Brannstrom.

SJ trade makes sense for both sides. Sens save some much-needed cap space without losing depth in the forward group. OTT loses Lassi but they likely lose him on waivers to start the year, SJ gets the better goalie (IMO) with having to retain a little bit and they get a decent D prospect that needs a change of scenery.
