Pass

Never been a Kakko believer. I'd much prefer Ottawa keep their guy.

Kappo is not worth remotely close to Pinto, OTT passes

Kakko is younger and had more points last year. Why exactly has Pinto higher value?

I would say the difference in value is not that huge but Pinto has more projectability. He just doesn't have nearly as many games as Kakko because he lost 1 year to injury and now gambled half a season. The thing is Kakko already played 259 NHL games and hasn't shown enough offensive potential, Pinto in his rookie season has shown he could be a 30 goals 2-way center

And by the way, Kakko is only 3 months younger.

I like Kakko but I would rather gamble on Pinto to be honest.

Loving the puns.

3 crap season, then 1 good season followed by what would have been his worst season before getting injured, Pinto is a C, who has move value naturally than a winger, Pinto missed a entire season do to shoulder injury and followed the next season playing 82 games without any problems and scored 20G and 15A for 35P in his rookie year.

Kappo for intents and purposes is a bust as a 2nd OA. i wish he was not, i don't want to see any players go bust.
