A Young Star Has Officially Left The Ottawa Senators

With only $62,620 left and Josh Norris injured, they're in a bind. Pinto's contract talks have hit a roadblock; he's unhappy with a low offer and wants around $2.5 million.

Due to the media attention, Pinto has gone back home to focus on training.

Teams have offered suggestions to help with cap space, including talks involving Mathieu Joseph and Erik Brannstrom. But finding a solution isn't easy, and Pinto has taken a break from the contract drama, leaving the Senators with a challenge.
