I doubt very much Ottawa surrenders Brannstom and Kubalik. That is too high a price to secure Pinto on a short-term contract. Brannstrom plays both LD & RD and is the only defenseman in Ottawa's system capable of moving up into the top 4 in the instance that one of Chychrun or Chabot get hurt, which is inevitable as both seem to get hurt every year. Kubalik plays both wings and even though he starts on the 3rd line, he can play on the 2nd line and 2nd PP unit. Pinto is valuable 100% but he's not so important to gut two very key depth pieces from the lineup.
