The NHL Gambling Policy includes a provision stressing that players and others falling under the scope of the guidelines will face discipline if they demonstrate “conduct that is dishonorable, prejudicial to, or against the welfare of the 메이저사이트 League or the game of hockey.”
Pinto Contract
The Ottawa Senators began their regular season earlier this month, but Pinto hasn’t been on the ice because he remains an unrestricted free agent. His contract negotiations were put on hold amid the betting investigation.
His 41-game suspension is retroactive to October 11, Ottawa’s first game of the regular season. Pinto’s agent can begin working on a new contract with the review closed. It appears Ottawa wants to keep the rising star, who scored 35 points with 20 goals and 15 assists during his first full year as a starter last season.
When the time is right and with the league’s blessing, we will welcome him back to the organization and embrace him as one of our own,” the team statement concluded.
Pinto also commented publicly on his suspension.
“I want to apologize to the National Hockey League, the Ottawa Senators, my teammates, the fans, the city of Ottawa, and most importantly, my family. I take full responsibility for my actions and look forward to getting back on the ice with my team,” Pinto said.
