Yeah that's a pretty easy no from TB

I wouldnt be so sure, Bahl could come in and replace Cole on the cheap for next season and you get a draft pick to try and add a player for that atrocious prospect pool of yours, all at the cost of a bottom 6er

See people see guys playing bottom six on TB but go to say Florida or Vegas and become 30-40goal
60-70 point guys because they don't always get the opportunity with TBs depth. 3rd liners on TB doesn't mean he's a 3rd liner on your team whatever team that is. I am aware in your case it's NJD.

What type of contract do you think the bolts are willing to give him

Paul area or a 1year deal with the handshake of a longer term deal in place for January when he'd be able to sign an extension and not kill them cap wise.

I'd say he could maybe go as high as 2nd line next to Hughes if Sharangovich has one of his disappearing acts again. If not then he bumps Tatar down to 4th line and he plays with Haula/Mercer

Plus hes a Jersey guy (and a Devils fan growing up) always good to see the home state boys come home

None of that is going to convince JBB to pull the trigger. The guy has if given the ice time IMO 30-35 Goal potential if he can get 17-18mpg with a good set up guy he has a really good shot looks to shoot I think a lot of people maybe yourself included see he's doing on TB and see that as his topish look at Carter VERHAEGHE black ace 4th line TB top 6 in Florida or JONATHAN MARCHESSAULT bpack ace 4th liner in TB Top 6 in Florida and Vegas or Taylor Raddysh 4th liner in TB top 6 in Chicago.

Some interesting offers and ideas , pretty certain Ottawa would match on Pinto but this is the first time I have seen a proposed offer sheet on him,
