Really the counting stats for Bonino and Sutter are identical (actually favour Bonino) and the advanced stats favour Bonino. Not even sure there is as much of a defensive difference between the two as you would expect.
Not to mention that there should be benefit of playing behind Malkin and Crosby 5v5 (with PP and SH time being relatively equal).
Bonino: 13:05 ES TOI
Sutter: 13:29 ES TOI
Bonino: 34 ES Points
Sutter: 24 ES Points
Bonino: PP TOI 1:51
Sutter: PP TOI 1:31
Bonino: 5 PP Points
Sutter: 5 PP Points
Bonino: 52 GA (13 PP GA)
Sutter: 51 GA (18 PP GA)
Bonino: 1:57 SH TOI
Sutter: 2:18 SH TOI
The fact that Bonino has produced more the last couple years, the cheaper contract, and the advanced stats make this look like a steal for Pitts before you consider they got a good prospect and a 2nd in return.
