I’ll be honest with ya man, that Ottawa trade is major ass.
Norris was 4th in Calder voting, and was the 1C and held his own against Matthews, McDavid, Scheifele etc. He looks to be a great 2C or solid 1A option.
Pinto has done nothing but exceed expectations, and looks to be an excellent 3C or good 2C. He was just a Hobey finalist this year, and in his brief NHL stint put up 7p in 12games
And Ottawa gives up the higher pick in this trade, as well as an extra pick.
In return the Sens get 1 year of 30 year old Kadri, Conpher who was out produced by Norris this year, and 1 year of Francouz.
Why on earth would the Sens do this? Their just starting to come out of a rebuild, and trading away 2 of their best prospects for old, declining short term assets?
