Confirmed with Link: Canucks claim F Tom Sestito from Philadelphia

[Win One Before I Die]

Sestito and Kassian can bully the other teams now.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Tom's stat line for those who care:

http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=80210

He is a left winger

Jesus.

Tom "Suitcase" Sestito.

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

A pure enforcer.

I like.

The Bash Brothers?

 

[VanMelaner14]

he scored a couple nice backhand goals against Tampa this season lol.

He'll be a solid depth guy on forward, no issue with this pickup

 

[The Poacher]

I remember him taking stupid penaltys at stupid times. But I haven't seen him play for a while now so maybe that's changed?

 

[canuck4life16]

The Bash Brothers?

maybe a weaker version of the Devil "Crash" or DRW Grind line that provides energy and some scoring ability and can wear down opponents!

 

[Angry Little Elf]

What number will he wear? 32 is taken.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

#29, per Canucks Twitter. Second coming of Odjick?

Haha, that is awesome if true.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Vancouver Canucks✔ @VanCanucks
FYI. Sestito will be wearing #29.

There you go. I found it by going to the Canucks website and looking at the Tweets - here, try this page.

Thanks. Mr. C!

HAHA... #29 seems about right.

 

[canuck4life16]

watch AV put him with Sedins and he could put up points

 

[Barney Gumble]

He'll take any number he wants.

 

[MikeK]

He'll probably get more of an opportunity then he might deserve simple because he is an AV type of player. I think AV is going to love this guy. He's going to play a lot. I at least expect him to be in the lineup ever night. Should be fun the next time we play CHI and SJ

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

He's got 2 goals in 7 games. Clearly, he has untapped offensive potential.

Anyone remember Wade Brookbank potting a couple of goals with the Twins? They really can make anyone look good.

LA too since they are physical and has size,

Except Tommi Santala.

Big+tough+mean = the softer Canucks forwards just grew 2 inches.

 

[MikeK]

On Feb 5, 2012 against NYR Sestito was given a game misconduct for 3 fights in one game. One in each period. When was the last time Vancouver had a guy that was willing and able to do that?... Probably Rick was the last.

 

[Crows*]

29... Felix potvin will be crying

 

[Uno Bench]

The bio says he is 6'05 not 6'5.. I dont know how many posts I seen saying he is 6'5, here

And can chip in about 8-10 goals a season. This guy is the ideal 4th line enforcer, our own Shawn Thornton.
