surely you don’t actually think that Murray is the Sens’ issue with this trade, and not Pinto, right? If the Leafs want Murray with retention, sweet. but Nylander at best should be compared to Fiala. He’d have a bit more value since he comes in a bit of a cheaper contract. so if Fiala was traded for 16th overall and Faber, that’s still pretty similar to 7th overall and Jarventie, the Sens one is probably even a bit more. so maybe you’d be able to pry away a D prospect like Thomson too, in which case you’re blowing the Fiala trade out of the water. Pinto is in another tier compared to guys like Thomson, Jarventie or Faber, and I assume you just don’t know anything about him and that’s why you threw him in this trade, considering you’ve tried to put him on LW1 lmao
Guerin could have drove the value higher closer to the draft. He felt the value was enough so he took the deal. Words straight from his mouth, I don’t particularly agree with that mindset as a GM but that’s what was said. One less top line forward available come draft day. Boeser signed too, and DeBrincat likely doesn’t go anywhere imo. Supply and demand.
I’m familiar with Pinto though, he’s a quality 2-way player with some size, I’ve seen him play a handful of games…we are division rivals lol. Literally anyone can find their game playing beside Matthews, but it’s not like a spent hours mulling over these lines either lol.
Anyway, if Pinto is a deal breaker, what would you suggest as a trade, 7 + Jarventie? Probably a pass for me. Maybe if you have a prospect in between these two.
