NHL Draft Combine: What did we learn?

from The Athletic Hockey Show

After last week’s NHL Scouting Combine, where the top draft-eligible prospects do fitness testing and sit for interviews with NHL teams, the guys break down what they learned from the event and if players like Gavin McKenna, Ivar Stenberg, Chase Reid, and Caleb Malhotra hurt or helped their case for draft night. Plus, a deep dive into Corey’s NHL Draft Confidential piece, where scouts and execs give anonymous quotes about the top prospects in the class, potential Dylan Larkin trade packages, and thoughts on a wild Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, featuring a Mitch Marner natural hat trick, an improbable Carolina Hurricanes comeback, and ultimately a double overtime Vegas Golden Knights victory to take a 2-1 series lead.Hosts: Max Bultman, Corey Pronman, and Scott WheelerExecutive Producer: Chris FlanneryProducer: Chris FlanneryWatch full episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theathletichockeyshowJoin our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VTm9VjkFSubscribe to The Athletic: https://theathletic.com/hockeyshow Hosted on Acast.
