Samu Tuomaala Facts
- Agency
- Premium
He reloads to swing wide on his team’s breakout, collects the puck in stride, accelerates through knee-over-knee crossovers, and drives play across the offensive blue line. Blink, and you just might miss him. Tuomaala has a wicked wrist shot, and he can get it off in-stride from either foot. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
