‘20 Yaroslav Askarov: traded after 3 GP‘19 Philip Tomasino: traded after 159 GP‘17 Eeli Tolvanen: waivers after 135 GP‘16 Dante Fabbro: waivers after 315 GP‘14 Kevin Fiala: traded after 204 GP‘13 Seth Jones: traded after 199 GP‘10 Austin Watson: traded after 306 GP”
Michael Gallagher: “And whereas we’re at it, let’s have a look at their wealth of current second-round gems too
Egor Afanasyev (traded, now in KHL)Sam Girard (traded)Yakov Trenin (traded)Vladislav Kamenev (traded)Magnus Hellberg (traded)Miika Salomaki (traded)Pontus Aberg (traded)Grant Mismash (traded)”
Emma Lingan: “IMO, the true winner of this commerce is Tomasino himself. The writing was on the wall for him & the Predators. He’ll get a ton of enjoying time in Pittsburgh, which shall be good for his improvement. Simply looks like a greater match.”
Robby Stanley: “The writing has been on the wall right here for Tomasino for like two years and it’s spanned two teaching staffs and two normal managers. I’m zero p.c shocked he was traded. Have talked on this system about how that’s been the most probably end result.”
