How did Tuomaala’s 2020-21 hockey season go? Is his stock trending up or down from where it was entering the year?
Tuomaala spent the season doing what he does best — filling up the scoresheet, with 15 goals in 30 games with the under 20 team in Karpat. Against lower competition he showed his offensive upside, using his shot to torment goalies and his speed to leave defenders in their wake.
