Compared to his rookie season in 2017-18 (5 goals, 19 assists), he posted improvements of 48 points and 29 goals, the latter of which was the highest increase in the entire CHL. Tomasino led the OHL in game-winning goals with 12 last season. In October, he signed an entry-level contract with the Predators.

"It's a big deal for us to be adding a talent like Philip to our line-up," said Vice-President and General Manager, Roger Hunt on acquiring the NHL first rounder. "Adding a player like him obviously comes at a cost, but getting him in our line-up was something we wanted that will be a great addition now and in the future."
