HF Habs: 2025 Draft Combine

Lol, nothing wrong with it. But I agree with the other poster that they would rephrase the question to force you to answer for that scenario.

I just find it funny when people try to find any possible way to avoid having to deal with the moral themes of the trolley problem or the Habs draft Q.

Which is a good thing, too, so you can come clean and then answer coldly.

It's like trying to do the trolly problem with somebody who won't do abstraction. "I would untie the people and set them all free before the train comes!"

If Marty is asking about it he obviously knows they were both there so the correct answer is I would tell the truth.

Then it becomes you are walking down the street and see Suzuki leave the casino, or they overhear Suzuki talking about how he was gambling at 3am, or whatever else.

But like I said there isn't a right/wrong answer, I think what you want to see is the player ask questions like is this in the offseason, regular season, playoffs? Was there a curfew that was being broken? Was this the first time something like this happened or is it a pattern and shows that it's a real problem?

There is no right/wrong answer because there are good and bad no matter what you do. It's about the reasoning you use, if the answer is no because he's the C that's not good reasoning, but if the answer is no because if you rat out Suzuki it would cause internal strife and you think it's a better idea to get some teammates together and handle it amongst the players without management getting involved that's a better reason.

Exactly. Obviously Marty knows the player was there. Does he know whether Suzuki was? if not and the inbterviewee avoided him at the casino then say they didn't see him and talk to him about it in private.

Trick questions are also part of hiring in the business world.

I was asked by an owner "what would you say if i walked in and fired an employee". My response was "why are you firing an employee when its my responsibility?"

He was taken by suprise because everybody else answered it was his company and he can do as he pleases. I wss hired and stayed with them for 5 years.

Honest answers are better then ass kissing...

Upon reflection its a pretty good trick question.

If the prospect said he would answer honestly then they lack the smarts to figure out that they implicated themselves to the same issue.

The best answer is to deflect the question by saying i wouldn't know because i don't gamble.

So Habs management is playing a bit of dirty pool...

Hopefully we draft the right player because of ability as opposed to ignoring a kid that just happens to answer the wrong thing this one time.

I can see this trick question in a job where IQ makes a difference but to ask and trap an 18 year old is, to put it kindly....STUPID.

90% of players who make it resort to canned answers when interviewed. It's not like we expect them to head peace talks in the middle east.

The answer Habs wants to hear : I couldn't see him, I'm not going to the Casino at such an hour.

no the answer they are looking for should be : ''How could I see him when I was in my room sleeping at 3am..... dreaming about playing with Suzuki''

It is done to understand their personality IQ. This allows the team to separate the good human from the bad. In a team where competition is a thing, you don't want to risk the team's chemistry due to a stupid a-hole. Also, from the psychological standpoint, this helps to build a real connection with the human and the person with whom you will create a strong bond.
 
there’s no correct answer it’s just about seeing how quick they think on their feet lol

the irish doctor from UNB says that on pretty much every behind the draft video he’s been in…
