A couple of months ago, Philip Tomasino’s availability to the Lightning at 27th overall seemed more than reasonable. But through the draft process, his stock is rising and it now feels a little optimistic to include him in our profiles. That said, he’s still projected in the early or even mid-twenties in some places so it’s not impossible he slides all the way to the end of the first round where the Lightning will be selecting.
Tomasino is a 6’0” 181 lb center who played with the Niagara IceDogs in the Ontario Hockey League last season.
