[Scott Wheeler on Twitter] Wheeler on Tuomaala. Oof.
Watching some Liiga tape and man, Samu Tuomaala (PHI) is broken. A year and a half after lighting up U18 Worlds and getting drafted in the second round, he doesn't even look like an NHL prospect.

Boy I sure don’t like to hear that
I have a multireddit for all Philly sports subs, and today was not the day to have “Wheeler” and “oof” on the feed
Fletcher utterly botched his development by letting him rot in the AHL without any gametime.
This is literally all on him.
Tuomaala 1 pick before Stankoven is easily the 2nd worst pick we’ve made in recent memory behind Jay O’Brien (I’ll still chalk up Patrick as bad luck above all else)
YAY Fletcher!
Is this why Fletcher trades away all of our second round picks? Because he knows he’ll just waste them on players who will be an empty shell of themselves within two years?
