Pierre Dorion continues to grind to create cap space for Shane Pinto. Both the Pinto camp and Sens are trying to find a resolution. There’s no stalemate, this is purely a cap issue.Pinto is the highest-profile unsigned restricted free agent remaining in the league after the Anaheim Ducks signed Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale to three-year deals last week.
The 22-year-old centre recorded 20 goals and 35 points in 82 games last season, his first full year in the NHL. He appeared in just five games in 2021-22 due to a shoulder injury. According to CapFriendly, the Senators have just $62,620 in cap space while carrying a roster of just 20 players. Ottawa has more than $5 million in dead cap this season after retaining salary on Matt Murray and their previous buyouts of Bobby Ryan, Colin White, and Michael Del Zotto.
