NHL Power Moves: Could Pinto, McTavish, McLeod, and Hart Be Heading for Game-Changing Deals?
Shane Pinto doesn’t want his contract situation to be a distraction
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen: The 24-year-old Shane Pinto is entering the final year of his contract and is coming off a career-high 37 points in 70 games last season, as the Ottawa Senators’ third-line center. He carries a $3.75 million cap hit.
