Beside the info on Hemsky, pretty uneventful article. Seems kind of odd to put a flag for a prospect just because he listed video games as a hobby.

He states in the video that it's not a concern of sorts, but a red flag as the person could be playing with their friends in Europe while in North America..

I'm sure this is in response to the rumour that Olli Juolevi is killing his career because of video game addiction.
Canadiens are constantly trying to refine the tools used to assess players. The combine brought together 104 of the top prospects for fitness testing and interviews, and Timmins said University of New Brunswick psychologist David Scott was part of the process.
“Dr. Scott developed an online personality behavioural assessment tool, which the players fill out during the season and Dr. Scott takes all that information into our interview room with myself and Shane Churla, our director of amateur scouting,” said Timmins. “Dr. Scott will highlight things, like maybe a player lacks confidence and he’s devised questions about the confidence and try to flesh out whether what we see in the interview matches up with what we see on the ice.”

another tidbit...size is not important in this draft lol
All smurfs unite...
The emphasis will be on finding players with an upside.“We want players with character and we’ll be looking at speed because it’s a fast game,” said Timmins. “Size isn’t as important.

Just take the BPA..............it would seem, that all of the info and analytics available these days, they seem to forget, to simply WATCH these kids play the game!!!!!!
On the 31 thoughts podcast they discussed a recent top 10 pick who’s junior coach said is addicted to video games and may never make the nhl as a result....they wouldn’t name names however.

Was Komisarek really a better pick than Hemsky though?

I'd rather these guys play video games than go to bars. No one was ever arrested playing games at 2 am.

Much less partied away their entire salary while staying home. You can still be social buy a lot of games, even drink at home. But in the long term it is better for you than the nightlife. And lets face it. Most pro sports guys don't have problems picking up, even in a city where no one knows your name. Swagger and being relatively in shape is likely enough.
Was it concluded that it was Juolevi? Thought the rumour mentioned a player in juniors, Juolevi played Liiga this season and by the looks of it did alright.
Might as well scout Olympic speed skating. Annoying how this team never talks about hockey skills.
Timmins is just as bad as Bergevin... anything but skill for these fossils.

I think it was confirmed in the thread on this subject that it was not Juolevi.

Bergevin's bias against video games grows stronger... first it was how the NHL wasn't playstation.. now this ? When will his crusade against millenials end ?

Not on this site, but elsewhere (Twitter) he was named as the player. Apparently, he had a bit of an up and down year and was in and out of the line-up. The club is working with him on it.

yeah you could... but that probably doesn't happen as much. I'm sure a lot of kids spend the night baking pies.
