Observations:

September 2017 –The 2013 sixth round pick has been improving every year for the Capitals in Providence College, with seasons of 18, 25 and most recently 40 points in 39 games. Pinho is not a big goal scorer as he prefers to distribute the puck than shoot it, but considering that is a majority of Capitals prospects in the system he should look to shoot more in his final year of College. The 174^th pick in the 2013 draft has for exceeded his draft ranking to become a legitimate prospect for the Capitals. He will finish his final year in the NCAA and after that the Capitals will hope to sign him or he will make another team very happy with the depth he can bring. Pat Quinn

 

Fantasy Outlook: C+

Pinho continues to impress in the NCAA relying on his puck skills to make plays and control the game. If he makes the NHL it will be to put up points and not grind.
