The Boston Bruins are reportedly interested in Ottawa Senators restricted free agent Shane Pinto.
The center did score 20 goals as a rookie last season, but Locked on Bruins host Ian McLaren argues it wouldn’t make much sense to flip a top prospect like Fabian Lysell to fill a role that’s occupied by Morgan Geekie or Trent Frederic.
These are guys with similar upside the Bruins invtested in this past offseason, leaving them without the cap space to sign Pinto.
Plus, Milan Lucic is back at Bruins practice and Alex Chiasson isn’t a fan of PTOs.

Pinto could be a career bottom six player I don’t think giving up lysel is a good idea on hoping. Agreed on not trading for him this makes no sense .
I tend to agree, at 22 years old there is about as much upside to Pinto as there is to Lysell. Pinto seems like after his rookie season he could be a reliable 3c or 2c peak, meanwhile Lysell could be a 1st line winger or not an NHL player its hard to tell. Not a huge fan of trading for more young Charlie Coyle-like players when we have plenty of them in: Coyle, Geekie, and Zacha, as well as a slew of up and coming Center candidates in Beecher, Farinacci, Merkulov, Poitras, Richard, and even Mclaughlin.
