Trade concluded between Montreal and Ottawa? Last-minute development emerges

While free agents are obviously attracting most of the attention today, a major trade request could change Kent Hughes' plans.

According to excellent information from Jimmy Murphy, the young and excellent forward Shane Pinto is reportedly on the verge of requesting a trade.

In fact, his agent has outright invited other teams to make him an offer sheet. Wow.

According to what Murphy has heard, the Canadiens, Bruins, and Islanders are interested in acquiring Pinto.

Another file to follow closely.

Now that the Boston Bruins have signed Elias Lindholm, should we remove them from the race for Pinto? It's very possible.

In any case, Kent Hughes is having a great week, particularly with the acquisitions of Michael Hage and Ivan Demidov, but he has yet to acquire the famous young top 6 forward that everyone has been waiting for and that he has been trying to acquire for several weeks.

The names of Martin Necas, Trevor Zegras, and Rutger McGroarty have been circulating a lot, and now we must add Shane Pinto to this list.

Pinto, 23 years old, 6 feet 3 inches and 201 pounds, is a 32nd overall pick in 2019 and has accumulated 27 points in 41 games this season with the Sens. (positive differential of +9)

We're talking about a pace of 55 points per season here, and his potential is even higher than that.
