Tuomaala was traded to Dallas from Philadelphia on Thursday, in exchange for Christian Kyrou.
Scouting Report
The Finnish forward is a plus-level skater with a good shot, though his production often fails to match his talent. He can be effective when playing an up-tempo style, especially with talented teammates, but the jury is still out on whether he can make plays for himself (and on the choices he makes under duress).
Long Range Potential: Speedy, raw winger with some upside.
