The Ottawa Senators are working the phones as they looking to create cap space in order to re-sign restricted free agent centre Shane Pinto.
TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun reports winger Mathieu Joseph is one player in the rumour mill for the Senators, who have just $121,953 in space, according to CapFriendly.
"The Senators are trying to create cap room, but in the meantime, it's not like there's an extension sitting on the table, and they just need to move money. Shane Pinto's agent – I believe – still has some negotiating to do here with Pierre Dorion, the GM of the Ottawa Senators. I think that Pinto probably would sign something in the neighbourhood of $2.5 million per year over two years.
Pinto, 22, 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.
