Overview

  • Pinto’s new contract carries a $7.5 million AAV, begins next season, and runs through 2029–30.
  • Reporting indicates the deal includes a 10-team no-trade list in each of the final two years.
  • The agreement avoids restricted free agency this summer and effectively buys two future UFA seasons.
  • Pinto has eight goals and 14 points in 17 games with a career-high 19:23 average ice time, leading key faceoffs and penalty-kill minutes.
  • The deal follows months of talks that included a reported eight-year, $52 million offer, and it keeps Ottawa’s center group under contract through 2030.
