Taro T Posted June 2 Report Posted June 2 38 minutes ago, steveoath said: Out of curiosity, why is it known as “combine”? Pretty sure the term originated with the NFL in the 70's when 3 multiteam scouting entities merged together to have one huge combined multiday scouting event. Presumably it's called a "combine" because the teams are combining their efforts and everybody has access to the same physical data testing results. When the NHL started their version of a scouting combine in the '90's, they went with the same name. 1 1 Quote
Taro T Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 So, any word on whether @thewookie1 sideswiped any of the prospects yet? Still 1 more day for him to pull it off, but if he hasn't done so yet, it isn't very promising. Quote

LGR4GM Posted June 8 Author Report Posted June 8 NHL does a truly awful job of covering this event. I think physical testing starts today so we should get height and weights. Quote

Let’s be honest here, it’s not like any of these guys are “blowing away” the combine. You’re not gonna see the fun and incredible acts of athleticism you see with other sports. Quote
