2024 Fantasy Outlook
Pinto served a 41-game suspension for activities related to sports wagering, which delayed the start of the 2023-24 campaign for him until Jan. 21. Despite missing the first half of the season, though, he was solid after that, supplying nine goals and 27 points through 41 outings. With that incident behind him, the 23-year-old (24 on Nov. 12) seems primed for a strong campaign. The only major downside is that the presence of Tim Stutzle and Josh Norris might result in Pinto being deployed primarily as the third-line center and on the second power-play unit, which would limit his offensive opportunities somewhat. Still, it would not be shocking to see Pinto record 50-60 points, which would be a major jump from his previous career high of 35. Read Past Outlooks

Scores again Tuesday

December 17, 2024
Pinto scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.
ANALYSIS
Pinto has three goals over his last three outing after going 15 games without a point. This may be the turning point of his season, though he still has a lot to do to prove himself to fantasy managers. The center has four goals, two assists, 40 shots on net, 26 hits and a minus-5 rating over 23 appearances this season, primarily in a third-line role.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Fresh on the heels of a 2021-22 campaign which saw an upper-body injury limit him to just five appearances, Pinto played in all 82 games for Ottawa a season ago. He put up 20 goals and 35 points, including nine with the man advantage. There are a lot of mouths to feed offensively for the Senators, but Pinto, who won't be 23 until mid-November, has proven to be a solid source of secondary scoring for both the team and deep-league fantasy managers. He's a better keeper or dynasty asset than redraft pick.
Pinto was great at the tail end of the 2020-21 campaign, posting seven points in a dozen games with Ottawa. He played just five games last season before suffering an upper-body injury which required surgery and ended his year. It's fair to wonder where Pinto fits into the pecking order on a reloaded Senators team now that he's fully healthy, but the Long Island native is a former fringe top-100 prospect who won't turn 22 years old until November. Pinto remains a sneaky stash in all keeper/dynasty formats.
Pinto is destined to be the Senators' second-line center, but not for a few years. At 20, he could make the Sens' roster out of camp this season because of his diligence on the defensive side of the game. After all, he debuted in 2020-21 after a nomination for the Hobey Baker Award and delivered seven points in 12 games. Pinto hasn't looked out of place at training camp this fall -- his shot is as sharp as ever and his work ethic is off the charts. But Pinto's development would be best served in the AHL, where he could play up the lineup and learn to be more dominant. Still, his growth curve has been steep and we wouldn't bet against him.
