It's a Saturday night and we have to talk about Toronto, don't we? Yeah. We do.
Per Elliotte Friedman:
Word is AHL Toronto will be signing Tom Sestito to a PTO...154 NHL games, last two seasons with Wilkes-Barre...source indicated he was happy Sestito gets one more shot, "Loved him as a teammate."

Hockeybuzz reached out to a source familiar with the situation to confirm the report of player coming out of retirement and we were able to acquire that.
When asked about the ''coming out of retirement'' the source without any acknowledgment of the report by Friedman did confirm that the player would indeed return to professional hockey.
However, any comment on the potential destination was refused.
When reached via text - Sestito's agent Scott Norton wouldn't confirm the report.
Former #CBJ draft pick (3rd rd, No. 85 overall in 2006) and player Tom Sestito has decided to retire. Played 154 #NHL games with Columbus, Philadelphia, Vancouver and Pittsburgh. Tough guy, but a gentle soul. Always quick w a smile. Congrats!
