History
2007-08: This marked Button's rookie season with the Prince Albert Raiders (WHL). In 58 games, he added eight helpers and 30 PIM. He started the season with the Edmonton CAC Major Midgets, where he registered eight points (2g+6a) in 28 games.
2008-09: Button had a break-out sophomore season, more than tripling his number from his rookie campaign with Prince Albert (WHL). In 70 games the defenseman tallied five goals and 32 assists for a total of 37 points.
Talent Analysis
Button is said to be one of the most underrated players in his draft class. The mobile defender was one of the few standouts on Prince Albert's backend and added another dimension to the Raiders' power play. His skating enables him to jump into the play and get back in time if needed. While his frame is acceptable for the NHL, he may have to add some bulk in order to stand the pounding of bigger, faster bodies in the NHL.
