Quoting: MisstheWhalers
Can't see the Rangers making that trade, wonder if Detroit would trade that Tuomisto kid for Copp.
Sure sounds like a good prospect. From The Athletic (in February):
"Tuomisto’s counting stats haven’t yet come as a freshman at Denver, but he has had an immediate impact on that team. Like Wallinder, he’s a low-floor, high-ceiling defender with all of the physical tools needed to become a top-four player. His point shot is heavy (that includes his long-range wrister, his one-timer and his windup slap shot, the last of which is becoming rare among young defencemen), giving him legitimate goal-scoring upside from the back end. He’s physical for his size and understands how to leverage that advantage to push opponents off of pucks. But he’s also got some skills you might not expect, with an ability to lead forwards with long outlets, to find and hit seams inside the offensive zone, to not rush a play under pressure and to adjust with a pivot across the point. His skating is a little sluggish and his D-zone reads can be sloppy, but he’s got an exciting package and time to figure the rest out in college before he turns pro.
Here’s Denver head coach David Carle on Tuomisto: “Big fan. Brain, ability to process, ability to apply things that we’re teaching. He’s big time. His feet look awkward a little bit at times, but his ability to take something we say and then to apply it might be better than anyone we’ve had. And he can pound the puck, and he knows when to move it at the right time. He’s going to be a really good hockey player.”
