Tod Button:
- Tuulola: Big power winger and likes to score. Simple guy, give and go type guy. Loves to score. Not as skilled as a Dube guy, but that hunger is there. Scouts fought hard for him.
If the ice is warm enough to have waves, skating jolly well will be a problem!

I think this pick should light a bit of a fire under Hunter Smith as well. Not that they'd be competing for the same spot on the Heat, but same mould of prospect.

Strong potential to be a good bottom 6 winger. Has the size & feistiness. Ville Niemenen 2.0?
The agitator aspect makes him more interesting to me. He needs good wheels to play that role in the NHL though. You need to be quick enough to catch guys consistently.

Niemo had great wheels. How does Lola's skating compare?
Could end up being a solid third liner if his skating can get to the pro level. Has some pretty good hands for a big kid and you have to like his willingness to run people over. Would like to see him against NA competition soon than later.
