From the Slovaks, Mesar and Petrovsky have been confirmed to also be attending. Sykora too has a few NHL teams that want to look at him, but I’m not sure what the update with him is.

Ah, the annual thread where people who don't understand the parameters of the physical testing tell all of us about how much fitter they are than 17-year olds.

Got any examples? Sounds hilarious.

Sam Bennett not being able to do a pull up?

Someone should analyze who got closer to a pull up, Mittelstadt or Bennett

I skate with my arms, what about you?

The combine is just a media spectacle. The interview process is downright bizarre. If anything, it's the players and their agents who should be interviewing the GMs. These guys are all getting drafted anyway.

Lets not kid ourselves, the biggest thing people look to see is the official height measurements!

I’d be quite interested if they televised the interview process. Would be very interesting to watch.

The NFL combine has such a massive impact on where a guy gets drafted. If you run a sub 4.4 you can literally move yourself up an entire round. The NHL combine means next to nothing, waste of time.

here are the players scheduled to be there:

The primary purpose of the NFL combine has always remained the same. To get all the invited prospects in front of the same medical personal for evaluation.

Strange timing with junior playoffs still going on to see who gets to Memorial Cup....

Those players simply won’t attend.

I shoot with my arms…

Must've really hurt in long term on his way to 28 goals this year.

I was just thinking that, what a shame

Didn't he have an injury at time ?

Either way, giving how well he can chuck knuckles I don't think anyone really cares at this point.

I'm just glad there won't be a Jayden Struble for the Habs to waste a pick on because bicep crew is gone

Took him long enough. What overall draft pick was he again? And how long did it take him?

He wouldn’t be at the combine injured. He also weighted 158ish lbs.

It would likely have been this week in other years. COVID delays for games played and all that.

 

[SlafySZN]

is there a schedule or something to know which test are what day? or somewhere where we can see the results

He was played and developed very, very poorly from Calgary. Strength is the easiest thing to work on for an elite athlete.

Which are always wrong...because you guys do not use the metric system...LOL
