Isles are scouting Ottawa for the second night in a row. Is there a situation where Pinto can be had? Isles benefit from him making $775k and don’t need to offload major salary until the offseason.

Chychrun is an interesting name but he would require salary (Pageau?) to move along with a high draft pick and prospect. Tarasenko would cost less too, but again he would require retention+salary moving. I don’t see a guy who makes more sense than Pinto.

I know he’s been on a tear since returning, but is there a chance he can be traded? Not sure how the front office feels about him since the gambling situation. Bring the Long Island boy home, Lou!
