I dont think the NHL makes it public directly anymore but someone there will post a list I'm sure. But yeah, we definitely need it.

Thanks for the thread, I love following the combine

Last year I followed Mike Morreale’s twitter and it was pretty informative, I just crave more lol. Will likely just do the same this year.

I loved it back when the league promoted this event and covered it. Not sure why it’s gone from showcase to dirty little secret.

From what little this article tells us: Dahlin, Svechnikov among those in spotlight at 2018 NHL Scouting Combine

There are 60 forwards, 37 defensemen, and seven goaltenders attending

Dahlin, Svechnikov, Zadina, Tkachuk, Dobson, Bouchard, Hughes, Boqvist, Kravtsov, Kaut, Ginning are amongst the skaters going

Rodrique and Dostal are 2/7 of the goalies going.

Here's the full list. Btw, Mark is a great follow for info this week.

Some won't attend due to injuries etc.

They use with the CSS rankings to decide who gets invited. Guys like Eriksson, Berggren and Gustafsson were ranked outside the top 20 for European skaters.

The English player was probably invited because teams don't know much about him.

Yeah but I'm sure they could make it work, not that the flames are in position to do it

Guess the Flames think Brady Tkachuk is going to be available in the fourth round.

Detroit has met with Bouchard, Dobson and Kotkaniemi. Blashill coached Hughes at the World Championships, too.

It gets decent coverage here in Canada but no where near the buzz/steam that the NBA/NFL combine has generated south of the border. I think a lot of that has to do with the growth of the sports (moreso with the NBA, it's skyrocketed in recent years) and downward trajectory of hockey (particularly in the states).

Where did you see this?

 

[JK2K]

Almost all players meet with almost all teams.
Even Dahlin and Svechnikov have met with 10 teams or so......
Just in case.

When does the Combine end? Only reason I ask is I believe recently(like last 2 years) MacKenzie's list comes out the week just after the Combine

Sunday ?

Teams don't do their own after this, correct ? And if correct, the NHL put a stop to it ?

I apologize, I saw that Ansar Khan proposed that one of those three would be the Red Wings' pick and I read too quickly. I'm sure they will all meet with the Red Wings' brass at some point. Here's the link.

Anyone know what day we get the height/weight measurements?

Anyone know what day we get the height/weight measurements?

Last year it was during the Physical testing on Saturday. Looks to be the same this year. Will likely be streamed on Sportsnet.

Any predictions on who can’t do a pull up/bench press?!
