With rumours surrounding the Ottawa Senators and Shane Pinto being at odds over new contract, it appears that that standoff has come to an end, and Pinto has re-signed with the club.
According to Eliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, Pinto has signed a 2 year extension, worth 3.5, although, that number could fluctuate a little bit.
Pinto, 23, played in 41 games for the Ottawa Senators last year collecting a total of nine goals and 18 assists for a total of 27 points. He was coming off of a 41 game suspension and that is why he only played half the season.
$3.5 million might seem a little bit high to some people, but with the going rate of other free agents, it seems to be right on target for the lower end or the younger players trying to prove that they can stick in the league
