2018 NHL Scouting Combine - Buffalo, NY

[Derrico]

Haven't seen a thread yet.  NHL Scouting Combine begins today and lasts through Saturday.  Located down at Harbor Centre and KBC.

 

Here's a primer.  https://www.nhl.com/news/2018-nhl-scouting-combine-preview/c-298792876?tid=277764372

 

Who's our Sabrespace guy who usually volunteers at this event?  Any relevant news, photos, articles etc. would be appreciated.

Whats the over/under for Dahlin pull-ups?

[Eleven]

Whats the over/under for Dahlin pull-ups?

 

He'd better do at least one.

[LTS]

Man... if he doesn't do at least one I suspect people's minds will explode on here.  I've got my poncho on already.

[LGR4GM]

He'd better do at least one.

I hope he declines to do them. 

[TrueBlueGED]

He'd better do at least one.

 

I hope he doesn't just to get your reaction :p

[Randall Flagg]

I predict he does 5.

Whats the over/under for Dahlin pull-ups?

 

Three, with each arm, one-handed.

[Mustache of God]

Whats the over/under for Dahlin pull-ups?

 

ZERO, but only because he snaps the bar in half with his super human strength on the first attempt.

Were you the guy hanging onto Casey's ankles when he was trying to do a pull-up?

Whats the over/under for Dahlin pull-ups?

He will do ... NINE.

[Randall Flagg]

He will do ... NINE.

Ah, yes - one for each Norris trophy he will win.

[LGR4GM]

Ah, yes - one for each Norris trophy he will win.

I hope he plays more than 9 seasons.

Dahlin meets with the Sabres today.

[LGR4GM]

Dahlin meets with the Sabres today.

Botterill, "Hi Rasmus, I just want to say welcome to Buffalo."

Dahlin, "Thank you very much it is nice to meet you."

Botterill, "For the next 15 minutes we are going to give you ever harder questions to determine your hockey IQ, willingness to be coached, and ability to handle pressure. Do you have questions before we start?"

Dahlin, "Uhhh, I mean I thought you were just going to draft me."

Botterill, "Depends on what you say in the next 15minutes. First questions, does it matter to you that you would be only the 2nd ever Swedish born player taken first overall?"

[LTS]

There are only a few pertinent questions to be asked of Mr. Dahlin....

 

First, do you know how to say "I'm coming for you Buffalo"  in Swedish?

 

Second, do you know how to make phat pannys?

 

Third, can you bring MODO with you?

 

Okay, we're done here.

Good lookin out!

I guess that's the benefit with not having to waste your interviews on 1st round prospects. We know we're picking Dahlin #1, so lets focus on mining a diamond in round 2.

[Brawndo]

I can think of another Jack whose wing you would look good on. Big smile with that one
