What the heck happened to Tom Sestito? (Puck Daddy)

In 2013-14, Tom Sestito had his best season in the NHL. He played 77 games, he had nine points (a career high!) and amassed 213 penalty minutes, which was of course why he was in the employ of the Vancouver Canucks

That was the season when he picked up 27 PIMs in one second of ice time, which is a hell of a thing.

But then John Tortorella was fired along with GM Mike Gillis. A completely new regime took over, and suddenly Sestito wasn’t in the plans any longer. He was a frequent healthy scratch this season, before being demoted to AHL Utica.
