The offseason is winding down for the NHL. Prospect tournaments are about to be wrapping up and then training camp will be starting up. Now there are rumors flying around that a couple of prospects could be changing teams.
Major Trade Coming In The Eastern Conference?
According to an NHL insider named Eklund the Philadelphia Flyers and Ottawa Senators is potentially in the works.
This trade would see two players 23 or younger swapped for one another. Morgan Frost had a slow start to his career but has broken out in recent years. On the flip side, Shane Pinto had his first full NHL season in 2022-23.
Young Players Get A Fresh Start After Major Trade
Morgan Frost has been underutilized during much of his time in Philadelphia. A good playmaker with skating ability has been used more in defensive and bottom-six minutes.
Finally, in 2022-23 he got some run in the top six and improved dramatically. He ended up with 46 points in 81 total games. A trade to Ottawa would likely allow him to grow in the top six with the young Senators.
Shane Pinto played his first played his first full NHL season in 2022-23. Pinto put up 15 points in those games. It has been a bit of a rough start for Pinto in Ottawa.
After a successful career at North Dakota Pinto signed and played 12 games at the end of the year and had 7 points. In 2021-22 Pinto got injured and only played 5 games. After returning in 2022-23 he seemed to have lost favor in the organization and ice time. A talented player who needs a new opportunity.
