The Penguins have acquired forward Philip Tomasino from the Predators, the team announced today. The price? A fourth-round pick in the 2027 Entry Draft.
Nashville’s first-round pick (24th overall) in the 2019 Entry Draft, Tomasino burst on the scene in his first pro season in 2021-22 to the tune of 11 goals and 32 points in 76 games for the Preds.
However, in each of the past two seasons, he split time with the Preds and their AHL Milwaukee affiliate. Although still productive at the big-league level with a dozen goals and 38 points in 72 games, he seemed to lose his place in the organizational forward queue.
