HF Habs: 2025 Draft Combine

What do you do when the response is "Oh I go to Gary Roberts training school and then follow the program he sets for me"
Teams already know the answers to these types of questions- they talk to coaches, local team media, guys in the hockey development industry, etc … it’s just a small community.

If they hear someone’s a gym rat, they’ll only ask about it to confirm. See if he lights up. They aren’t even paying attention to the specifics.
 
Ahahahaha, I didn't see the year. My bad, search engine can't distinguish between 2025 and 2024 these days, it was one of the top result.
Looks like we just had to wait a few more hours ! There they are.

I wonder how many super cringey things our sports psychologist guy said in the interviews. I guess we'll get a small snippet in the draft video the team puts out later in the summer.
"Hypothetically speaking, let's say you were in line at the ATM, the kind of a place where you take out money from a machine, if you will. In this scenario, there is a line for the ATM and you are behind multiple people. Let's say the woman in front of you is very old, you know, a grandmotherly type. Now imagine a man comes in and goes to the front of the line, not waiting his turn. Would you say something to him? Would you physically stop him? Now imagine you are the grandmother in this instance, would you speak up or would you let the young man behind you speak up? And before you answer, you have to decide if you want to be a penguin or a giraffe in this scenario"
 
They will trade down

We already got some reports on what the draftees were asked during the interview. The kids said it during their interviews with media.

One question was if they saw Suzuki at the casino at 3AM and MSL came up to you the next day to ask him if he saw Nick, what would he answer.

Another was if he was in the dessert with someone and they saw a bottle of water and a baseball bat, and the other person took the bottle, what would you do?

And another question was a bit more complicated, but it had something to do with submarines.

It's funny because when I was reading these questions I had the impression of starting an Ultima video game on PC with the gypsy at the beginning.

well obviously you can't say your a penguin because that would mean you want to play in Pittsburgh. and if you say your a Giraffe, well then your an idiot because there are no hockey team named Giraffe in the world.

So the obvious answer is standing up and body slamming the shrink on the interview table. Looking at Gorton and Hughes straight in the eyes and start singing Celine Dion's "my love will go on"

that's how your get drafted in the NHL
