No time is being wasted by Nashville Predators 2019 first-round draft pick Philip Tomasino on landing an NHL roster spot sooner rather than later.
It’s not an easy or quick journey to make it to the NHL level, even if you’re a first-round draft pick like Philip Tomasino is for the Nashville Predators. It takes a lot of growing pains and a lot of patience.
