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.

Not planning to thank you very much lol

Cool.  Couldn't recall if you'd decided to give Celebrini the McDavid treatment or said you WEREN'T going to go that route.  😉

NHL does a truly awful job of covering this event.

I think physical testing starts today so we should get height and weights. 

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.

I would take this guy in the second round (if he's there) unless there's a big defensive D man available at the time. 

Scouching have rating him highly. He sounds like someone we could use.
