The Nashville Predators traded former first-round pick Philip Tomasino to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a fourth-round pick on Monday, a move general manager Barry Trotz said had been in the works for some time.

In 2022, the Predators waived forward Eeli Tolvanen, a 2017 first-round pick, who was picked up by the Seattle Kraken. Going back even further, Nashville traded 2014 first-round pick Kevin Fiala to the Minnesota Wild in 2019 and 2013 first-round pick Seth Jones to Columbus in 2016.

Philip Tomasino was traded to Pittsburgh Penguins by the Nashville Predators on Monday for a fourth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft. The 23-year-old forward will travel to Pittsburgh and hopes to practice Tuesday. He signed a one-year, $825,000 contract with the Predators on Sept. 18 and can be a restricted free agent after this season.
