Director of Amateur Scouting Tod Button From the Scouting Combine!
About this episode
On this episode of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Aaron Vickers are joined by Calgary Flames Director of Amateur Scouting, Tod Button, for an inside look at the early days of the NHL Scouting Combine in Buffalo. Button explains why this week is such a critical part of the draft process, from interviews to fitness testing, and how much these final evaluations can impact the Flames' draft board. He pulls back the curtain on what happens inside the interview suites, how much the list is already set, and whether those infamous “weird” questions are as wild as they sound.
