Averaging one goal per game 5on5 is not a formula for winning the majority of games. The PP is too middle of the pack to depend on it to steal games.
Too much fancy crap and not enough just shooting at the net.

Trenin had every penalty for Nashville tonight. 3 minors + 1 major.
Tomasino with 12 mins of icetime managed a solid 0 statline. He has to start getting shots on net more consistently or atleast get a couple hits in there to atleast look engaged.
Saros had a good night. Too bad we couldnt scrounge him a point atleast.

Tomasino just looked overmatched most of the night. He got rolled up several times in the corners and along the boards.
Not strong enough on his skates at the moment to fight in the corner and not elusive enough to evade the contact.
Nice to see that some are finally recognizing that Tomasino is a player with a simply average ceiling. If Trotz can get something for him we will be better off. We have plenty in the pipeline and in the pressbox with more potential.
but I heard the same stuff about Fiala form this same group.
Hes 22.... i swear the impatience people around here have with prospects is mind numbing. He is producing at a respectable albeit not awe-inspiring middle 6 forward rate. Trading Tomasino doesnt bring Kemell, L'Heureux, Svechkov, Afanasyev, any of the other young prospects up. Not sure which pressboxed player you think has a higher ceiling than Tomasino.... Glass? Parssinen? Parssinen may if things allign properly for him but they fill two different roles in the roster so i dont believe one would ever be pressboxed for the other.

Fiala was a much more effective player than Tomasino
We have backlog of RW prospects

Tomasino is in a rut again it appears and he needs to figure out having stretches of games where that happens. That being said overall he’s producing shots at a higher rate than any regular forward that isn’t Forsberg. His ixG totals are equally good which suggests those shots are from scoring areas too. I know playing with McCarron seemingly helped him get going this season but I think it’s time to try him with someone else. His production numbers are much better away from McCarron.
Totally agree with the comments about impatience with prospects. In another three years I’m sure we’ll have a bunch of complaints about how Kemell isn’t producing so we should trade him and bring Wood up or similar.

I never really bought the idea that Tomasino needs to be with McCarron. I know the memes are good and all but let's be real, who's actually driving the play between those two?
Tomasino's issue is consistency and maybe confidence, not somehow needing to play with a specific 4th line plug to be effective.

as someone who has spent alot of time in Switzerland and as a great admirer of their hockey tradition, I never wanted Fiala traded

Lol that was the most obviously laid trap I've ever seen.
To his credit, maybe he thought we needed too but didn't want too but he did say, he was underwhelmed.

dude whatever, I was always a fan of Fiala and was against the trade to put him in MN
Once again, Tomasino is only 22. He needs to find his consistency but that's comes with being 22. That's why Trotz isnt in a hurry to rush our favorite prospects to the NHL. They need to learn to bring it each and every game. Tomasino seemed to be getting it. He was getting 2, 3, or 4 shots on goal a night. Now he has 2 games in a row with flat stats. Not even a hit to his name. Cant be out there and not have anything showing up on the statsheet. Lay a hit, be physical, show some heart, take a shot on the dang goal.
He is young and it will come but i do think it is time to see him with greater scoring talent.

But, what if it's not just a meme and he really doesn't feel more comfortable out there with McCarron? Who are we to tell him what makes him more comfortable and by extention, more confident?
It also doesn't hurt playing against the other team's fourth line but that's beside the point.
He is still getting PP time and doing nothing with it so maybe the fourth line against lower competition is the place for him.
