maybe the easiest offersheet of all time

im sure theyd match. They are tight but not that tight with moving Whitecloud and maybe Roy or someone else

He hasn't proven he is worth that at all, If you think that's a fair OS then you are probably not getting Pinto signed at 3.75M.

if you go above whiteclouds salary I would think they would be hard pressed to match

I think you could do whatever the max is that's a 3rd rounder and they'd just let you take him, although a trade is most likely.

I honestly really like the idea from Ottawa's side though

yeah it’s a gamble but the age + archetype + advanced metrics in his (albeit limited playtime) make it worthwhile imo. I don’t think it’s comparable to Pinto though, this is a predatory contract offer with a super manageable AAV, to poach a player whose opportunity is blocked from a cap strapped team. Pintos coming off a 41 game gambling suspension & for someone to make a contract offer that the sens can’t handle it would need to be pushing over 6m AAV, which is a way bigger risk so nobody is going to do it.
