Confirmed Trade: [PIT/NSH] Philip Tomasino for 2027 4th round pick

RyJo yes without a doubt.

Granlund... less so but still some. He just didnt do much when we really needed him to

At least it made logical sense, Fiala sucked defensively and Granlund was a safe bet for a minimum of 60 points.

wow, I can't believe Pen fans are complaining about this deal. Give him to us (isles)....gladly give you a 4th.

I don’t think any one is upset about the trade. We just know how it’s going to end with our jack*** coach.

Doesn't sound like Pens fans are optimistic about their coach either lol but if Tomasino gets ice time with decent linemates and is allowed to actually play like a scoring winger I think he'll be a solid NHLer.

Showed flashes as rookie but the Preds shouldn't have rushed him to NHL

Only 23 though so worth gamble of 4th round pick IMO from Pens here

Maybe change of scenery works out for him

Dubas seems to be doing everything possible to avoid driving his team into a rebuild.

You're wrong. Moves like this don't appreciably help this team much at all. It's a low risk deal for PIT.

In a system that is a disaster defensively for a player that isn't good at digging in the corners or defensively, this should end well. Sullivan is an absolute f***ing moron of a coach.

Philly Tomatoes is going to quit and sell used laptops on Craigslist after Sullivan is done with him.
