Very interesting comparable ls to Pinto.
Not sure Iike Kotkaniemi as a comparable, with it being his 3rd contract, and for the max 8 years. Yes, the Canes overpaid for a year with the offersheet, which I think impacted this deal. It is a weird one.
The rest kinds fit in their own way.
Now, where I think Pinto truly slides into the $2.5 million range despite the comparables here is
1. This is no doubt a bridge deal.... and maybe just a 1 year at that.
2. Came out flying in the first half last year, the second half completely fell off creating concerns over consistent play over an 82 games season.
3. Given he saw time as 2C last year (which I think did pad.some numbers), can he repeat that with what maybe fewer minutes this year?
Now, as you stated, this is a very simplified comparison to gauge his contract, but what a great way to start a meaningful discussion!
I love these exercises!!!
