Value of: Tomasino to PIT

[pth2]

In another thread I implied Winnipeg's first and a young D would be available for him, from Montreal, so PIT needs to top that.

I think Mtl is absolutely in the market for an RW with top 6 potential and Hughes seems to like trading picks for players that have more of a known value. I wont pretend to know what Nash needs, but from what i read in this thread, it isnt forwards.

Mtl traded a first, a 2nd and Faibrother for Newhook. Would this type of deal move the needle? I think Thomasino is better than Newhoook, so maybe something around Mtl's late first, Harris and a 3rd starts the convo?

2019 1st rounder struggling to get full-time in the line-up? You know he's a future habs, right?

I agree Tomasino has a high likelihood of being moved. I don't think this is the type of deal that happens. I could see them using him to move up in this draft, or trying to flip him for a younger prospect that might still have questions but is waiver eligible. I think the issue is they've run themselves against a wall. They have no time left to asses him. If he comes to camp and they still don't like him as a full timer then what do they do?

Hmm. Pickering fits the type of player Trotz and Brunette would probably be interested in, and fills an organizational gap. I don't feel like the difference between the two is a 2nd though. As my fellow Pred fans state though, I'm sure the Preds braintruat will just end up waiving him or something else stupid.

Pickering does fit alot better. His age is also beneficial that it will allow for McDonagh's contract to clear out and Lauzon's as well before we start have to worry about waivers.

Okay how about Owen Pickering for Tomasino and a 2nd?

I think the pick would be considerably lower than a 2nd, but that could work. I get the impression that they're roughly comparable on upside (as much as a forward and defenseman can be comparable, anyways), but Pickering being younger means he's got much more runway left to get there.

I like Tomasino as a RW who has skill. But I am not giving up the farm here. Pens move Smith for a low second and move that with a Pens LD prospect at most.

Any interest in one GIANT Logan Stanley?

I don't get why we think Tomasino has a ton of value.

He's going to be waiver eligible and Nashville has a multitude of players they likely have hitting the NHL over him.

With the way Trotz and Brunette have been talking and doing I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. It's just as likely that as long as they are waiver eligible they will be in Milwaukee.

Now I don't think Tomasino is going to get you the moon, but a guy that can get 40 points with limited play time and his most common player being a 4th line center isn't something to scoff at either. I don't know that he turns into a star player or anything, but it wouldn't shock me at all he isn't a 60+ guy on a team willing to give him that opportunity.

Jonatan Berrgren swap?

 

[Gurglesons]

Looks like it was a 4th!

 

[Soundgarden]

This is the same team that waived Tolvanen, I could totally see Tomasino traded for scraps and going somewhere and being a top 6 er

Hey look im right

 

[Turin]

Nice.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Out of the frying pan and into the fire though.
