Brawndo Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 Prospects have been arriving for the NHL Combine being held at the HarborCenter for the second consecutive year. Player interviews begin today, with physicals being held on Wednesday. The fitness testing will be June 4th. Quote
Eleven Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 Chychrun had better be able to do pullups. Quote
Brawndo Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Posted May 31, 2016 Will the top prospects be there? Yes, they are scheduled to be Quote
French Collection Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 Some of the top guys may be beat up from long playoff runs. Tkachuk and Juolevi are two that come to mind. Matthews and Laine just finished the World Championship. Interesting that Tim Murray likes the combine because it identifies athletes. Eichel and Guhle were top performers last year. Quote

Matthews and Laine just finished the World Championship. Interesting that Tim Murray likes the combine because it identifies athletes. Eichel and Guhle were top performers last year. Matthews and Laine could skip it entirely and not worry. The guys that just finished up in the CHL are a different story. I agree, that's a disadvantage. Quote
Brawndo Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Posted May 31, 2016 Dan Marr, who runs the combine for the NHL, allowed the prospects from the Oshawa Generals to attend the celebration festivities in Oshawa last year and they came to the combine late. I imagine he will do the same for the London Knights Players this year Quote
sabills Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 Is it earlier this year, or are the Canalside concerts later? Last year it was the first week of Thursday at the Harbor and I saw Connor McDavid watching Matt and Kim, haha. Quote

Public Enemy will be performing the day before the draft. Quote

Matthews and Laine just finished the World Championship. Interesting that Tim Murray likes the combine because it identifies athletes. Eichel and Guhle were top performers last year. If you have google and a half hour, you can find out who the top performers were the past 5 or 6 years. It would be nice to have the whole list like NHL GMs get, but from the short list, I don't see any meaning to the combine top performers. Quote
Brawndo Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) On the suite level,where the interviews are being conducted, outside the Oilers Suite is a picture of Jack Eichel. A few NHL Reporters are speculating whether or not this is intentional. I say it wasn't, if they wanted to troll a team, ROR Picture would be outside the Avs Suite.

LGR4GM Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 Chychrun at the combine https://www.nhl.com/news/jakob-chychrun-enjoying-nhl-combine/c-280847380?tid=277764372 "Hi everyone! I arrived in Buffalo on Sunday night, a little later than everybody else since I was coming from Boca Raton, Fla. I settled in and got something to eat and had eight interviews Monday. I want to do well in the fitness testing, obviously, and naturally I feel I'm pretty good at these interviews. I think I'm mature and well-spoken and I'm just trying to enjoy the whole process."

He has 25 interviews scheduled this week, he certainly is popular. Quote
Taro T Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 He has 25 interviews scheduled this week, he certainly is popular. Loafs & Jest aren't looking at him. Who are the other 3? Preds are pretty well set at D. If they're another that leaves 2. BJ's because they're a hot mess at C so if they do trade down they'd have to be going for a C. Leaves 1 left. Inquiring minds want to know. ;) Quote

3putt Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 Why are they doing this in the middle of the cup final? Already looking ahead while the band is still playing. Quote
Brawndo Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Posted May 31, 2016 Chychrun's parents live in Florida. Well that takes all the fun out of it. Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted June 1, 2016 Report Posted June 1, 2016 Well that takes all the fun out of it.They might be in the Pegula's bridge foursome. Quote
Brawndo Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Per Tyson Jost's Agent the Sabres are leaning towards a D Man in the first round. Edited June 1, 2016 by BRAWNDO Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted June 1, 2016 Report Posted June 1, 2016 Per Tyson Jost's Agent the Sabres are leaning towards a D Man in the first round. If it must be a Dman, c'mooooonnnnnnn Juolevi. Yo-lev-e! Yo-lev-e! Yo-lev-e! Quote
That Aud Smell Posted June 1, 2016 Report Posted June 1, 2016 Are these kinds of pre-draft leaks as meaningless as they are in the NFL world? Quote
