Purpose of this trade:
-The Jets get the better young defenseman.
-The Senators get the better fit given they already have Chychrun, Chabot, and Sanderson as better PP 1/2 options. Stanley can play the #6 role as a physical presence, and kill penalties.
-The Senators clear approx. 1M in cap.
-If the Senators waive Joseph and get back 1.15M, this trade along with assigning Joseph to the AHL clears up enough cap space to sign Pinto to a 2 year contract at 2.XXM and ice a 21 player roster.
