On Saturday night, Hockey Night in Canada’s Elliotte Friedman tweeted out some rather surprising news, indicating that the Toronto Marlies would be bringing in former Pittsburgh Penguin and Vancouver Canuck, Tom Sestito on a PTO.
Word is AHL Toronto will be signing Tom Sestito to a PTO…154 NHL games, last two seasons with Wilkes-Barre…source indicated he was happy Sestito gets one more shot, "Loved him as a teammate."

Before you react, this news is not as ridiculous as some may think.
Sestito is undoubtedly known to most by his label as a goon, and rightfully so, but the 31-year-old has actually been a relatively decent, if unspectacular performer at the AHL level in recent years.
