First off, no to that Norris trade. Not even close. Secondly, Pinto at 7.2m is a crazy overpay, I like Pinto but he’s only going into his 2nd full year, would be more in line with a 2-3m deal. I like signing Kessel though lol
Why would Ottawa do any of this? Last year proved Pinto isn't ready for 2C yet, and Norris when healthy is a 1C, but can't pass Stutzle out of sheer skill.
These are bad decisions. Something Dorion would do...
