Pittsburgh Penguins Trade for Philip Tomasino in Exchange for 2027 Draft Pick

The 23-year-old forward, a former first-round pick, joins the Penguins as the team looks to rebuild after its worst start in two decades.

The Penguins acquired forward Philip Tomasino from the Nashville Predators in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft, originally owned by the New York Rangers.
Tomasino, 23, was a first-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft and has recorded 71 points in 159 career NHL games with Nashville.
Struggling to find consistent ice time this season, Tomasino has played in 11 of Nashville's 21 games, registering one assist.
The Penguins, currently last in the Metropolitan Division with the league's worst goal differential, are focusing on integrating younger players into their roster.
As part of the transition, Pittsburgh reassigned forward Sam Poulin, another 2019 first-round pick, to their AHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
