I am guessing fans outside of Ottawa won't realize how valuable Pinto is to them. They probably value him more than the 7th overall pick.
The reason the 7th overall pick is what is rumored to be on the table is because they need their NHL ready ELC talent. I highly doubt they'd move both Pinto and the 7th overall from Fiala. If Minnesota can get that kind of return, that's a home run. I think it will be the 7th overall, Filip Gustavsson (C level piece, fringe NHL ready goalie on a cheap contract), and maybe a 2nd round tier prospect or another pick. Player/Pick/Prospect.
