Shane Pinto does not want his contract situation to be a distraction
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen: The 24-year-old Shane Pinto starts in the last year of his contract and comes from a career-high 37 points in 70 games last season, as the third line center of Ottawa Senators. He has a cap -hit of $ 3.75 million.
Senators GM Steve Staois said last week that he spoke with Pinto’s agent about a possible extension.
“I had discussions with his agent, I think it was a few weeks ago, and I thought it was a positive dialogue,” said Staios. “They found that starting the season started and it was not a distraction was the way they wanted it to go.

They know that I am open to discuss it at any time. We talked about Shane as an important part of this team, and I look forward to having more discussions to let him go as part of this core. “
It sounds like they will show the season how things go and see what happens. Pinto does not want to concentrate on hockey and his contract situation does not have a distraction.
“I just want to concentrate on hockey,” said Pinto. “It’s a big year for everyone. I don’t want to be a distraction for anyone and I want us to all take the next step and hopefully have a good start, and then we will see where things are going from there.”
