Tom Sestito

The Flyers feel Sestito has all the tools to be a force in the NHL, as evident when they traded Micheal Chaput, their first pick in last year's draft, for the winger. Sestito finished this season in the AHL with the Phantoms after spending the beginning of the season with Columbus's affiliate Springfield.
The big winger, once compared to Todd Bertuzzi, has the size and hands to be a powerplay component while being able to get involved with his fists. In a call up with Columbus early in the 2010 season, Sestito earned time with the second powerplay unit.
His name has been brought up recently due to Danny Carcillo's contract situation. Car Bomb is set to be a restricted free agent and could be let go for salary cap reasons. If so, Sestito will be the top candidate to take over his position.
