He displays mature defensive acumen, and skates well-he's going to be a hell of a player soon. Problem is, the Sens might be too weak at C to let any go.

Pinto just came back from injury and then reinjured trying to take a faceoff. He looked like his shoulder separated. If he needs surgery, I don't think he's going to be moved anytime soon, as the Sens wouldn't want to be giving any kind of a discount due to perceived weakness. A good target, but timing is bad.
