Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

To New York:
C/R Philip Tomasino (81)
Det 1st 2022 (12OA)

To Florida:
D Quinn Hughes (71)

I needed to shore up the back end after some departures last season, and Hughes should make a solid long-term counterpart to Bouchard, while not compromising my cap space while Vanek and Ladd are still under contract.

Confirmed. Few may remember when FLA ran the Rangers (quite well obviously compared to my stupid face) and he drafted Hughes. So I think there's some sentimental value. I've grown him over the last 2 years and sadly now it looks like I don't get the best years of him. So good luck with Bouchard.

Coming back is a decent pick this year that is already on the block if anyone wants to chat. But even if I don't move it, I get a solid prospect. Tomasino is very consistent middle 6 guy at an awesome price for 2 years - which after picking up Perlini is exactly what I'm looking for.

We went back and forth a lot and happy where we landed.
