Ottawa have less than $800,000 in available space to make a deal work. The New York native had a strong rookie season, playing all 82 games , scoring 20 goals and 35 points.
On their latest episode of their 32 Thoughts podcast, Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek discuss the Philadelphia Flyers as a potential trade fit for Ottawa Senators center Shane Pinto.
The Flyers did make an offer. It would've seen Mathieu Joseph come back (along w/ Pinto) as a salary dump.
The ball is seemingly in OTT's court and PHI has kind of moved on; they "aren't expecting back" , at this moment.
The Flyers will have roughly $7.1M cap space to work with when factoring in that Ryan Ellis and his $6.25M cap hit will be placed on LTIR.
Ottawa will be reluctant to give up on Pinto but if the salary demands are too high than a trade to Philadelphia could make sense. The Flyers have the space ,draft capital to make a deal work and holes all over the lineup for Pinto to fill. We wait to see how the chips fall for Ottawa.
