Quoting: Ross_Johnston
Bad take
No.
Ask yourself, why would a team move a certain player?
For Pinto, a reasonable explanation can be contract talks breaking down and the team can't afford what he is asking for. Therefore he gets shopped and any team that has a hole at middle 6 center and can afford to pay him $5-6M would be interested in acquiring him. That, IMO, is about 10 to 15 teams.
Why would the Senators move Joseph?
If it isn't to make room for Pinto, then the ONLY other reason is to improve their team.
The Senators are not rebuilding, they have no interest in acquiring picks, so any trade is dollar in dollar out.
So is Armia = Joseph? Not by a long shot, pay for the difference.
If Pinto, and removing the cap hit of Armia is your only priority, drop Joseph from the trade all together and you might be able to swing Reinbacher, Dvorak 1/2 retained for Pinto and pick outside of the top 100.
