Significant Update: a serious trade offer has been made for Shane Pinto with the Senators
There's a big issue to address with the Ottawa Senators, as forward Shane Pinto is still without a contract just a few days away from the start of training camps in the NHL.
Being a restricted free agent and given that the Sens have less than a million dollars available under the salary cap, everyone is wondering how this situation will be resolved in the coming weeks.
Unless there's a significant personnel move in Ottawa, there's no indication that an agreement will be reached, as it would be surprising if Pinto agrees to sign for an amount less than a million.
However, a major development has occurred in the trade market, as a team has reportedly made a serious attempt to acquire him. According to information reported by the excellent Marco D'Amico, the Philadelphia Flyers have made an offer for Pinto and Mathieu Joseph.
Pinto still doesn't have a contract (RFA) and camp starts this week!»

Wow! Daniel Brière sensed an opportunity to add a promising young forward, but unfortunately, his counterpart Pierre Dorion didn't take the bait.
It will still be a situation to watch during training camps, especially if the Senators decide to start the season leaving Pinto without a contract.
