The Philadelphia Flyers are no strangers to a reclamation project, and there’s another worthy one on waivers.
The Pittsburgh Penguins waived Philip Tomasino on Tuesday, with teams able to claim him for free. The 24-year-old center has a cap hit of $1.75 million and is a restricted free agent after this season.
Tomasino was selected 24th overall in the 2019 NHL Draft by the Nashville Predators. He put up 100 points in 62 OHL games the following season before graduating to the AHL, where he’s recorded 82 points (36 goals, 46 assists) in 89 games.
The forward has primarily played wing at the NHL level, taking just 112 faceoffs in 218 career games.
