GDT: NHL 24 Draft Combine June 3-8 NOT the trade, roster or KK thread

[Leto]

Damn, this board really has like 3, or 4 threads discussing the same thing people bringing in the same points.

Schizophrenic HF Habs being schizophrenic.

It's been this way for 20+ years brah. Where have you been?

I read through the thread looking for combine updates and instead it’s the same debate as other threads

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

And Mailloux was better offensively with London.


I think I will make this post my avatar.

Mailloux was 2 years older, but I don't expect Dickinson to be an offensive defenseman. I think he'll be more like an Ekholm with better skating.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Because that’s what anyone who disagrees with you must be saying for your narrative to hold up, right? Reality be damned.

Worthless post.

You know not everything requires rage.

At most people are congregating in Buffalo, getting to their hotel rooms etc., I think next few days are interviews mainly.

Excuse me, rage? Lol, you went from a strawman argument directly to gaslighting lmao. Some people are legitimately unable to debate/discuss anything in good faith, I guess.

Teams can have 1-on-1 interviews with prospects at KeyBank Center from June 3-7. The medical examinations will take place June 5, and seven of the 11 fitness tests will occur at HarborCenter on June 8 (standing height/wingspan, horizontal jump, force plate vertical jumps, bench press, pro agility test, pull ups, Wingate Cycle Ergometer test).

No player can test until clearing the medical screening.

Statistical breakdown prior to official taking of measurements:

Height: Towering ProspectsNotably, 80.2% of the attendees stood at 6 feet or taller, showcasing the physical stature that is highly valued in the NHL. The height distribution ranged from 5'9" to 6'6" and above, with 47.2% of prospects falling between 6'0" and 6'2".

It's annoying, but at the same time I really understand and appreciate the enthusiasm and excitement. So just rolling with those with that frame of mind helps.

Lol. Love the small font Helenius in the top right corner.

Under four weeks to go... at least we might start getting some legit news after the Combine.

Did they decide to remove tests or are they doing them on medical examination day...

Also shows their reluctance to invite guys who are very deserving of being there (Poirier, Swanson)

Heights, weights and testing scores will be legit.....the rest will be people making claims that are entirely of their own opinion or quoting writers/streamers who are working solely off of their own opinions. It is all fun and great entertainment but until the names are actually called out that is all that it ever is.

There will be false equivalencies from the usual suspects such as "rumours out of (insert NHL city)" or insert "whisper", "smoke", "chatter" etc for the word "rumour" in that sentence.....these constitute nonsensical drivel and should be treated as such. Basically the same thing that an Orange man might be attempting to do by declaring "They say" or "People are saying". Trying to invoke authority or knowledge that they do not possess.

Read something on X today that chatter has Habs are not focused on Iggy - was about Lindstrom vs Catton

From where?

 

[themilosh]

I just started working out for the first time in over two years. Now that my shoulder is healed, I should be good to go.

Maybe I'll go down to the combine and see how I do. I can do at least two pushups now...

I started (back) 2 years ago after Covid doing pushups and situps daily.. started at 5ea and added 1 each day until 50-50/day and havent stopped since.. now it's easy and takes no time at all like 15min (no breaks).. incredible the difference in the gut and biceps/pecs, and so easy.... you just gotta start, go slow, and in no time youll be enjoying it..

And im an old guy, turning 50 soon.

probably just click bait trash but here we are....

All is clic bait till it happens

THW is like if a bunch of us in the draft thread had our own site. We would have absolutely no connection to league sources, so anything would be speculation. Only our speculation would be better because we follow the team, so it's even less accurate since they don't follow teams closely and make their guesses off their list solely.

I was naive thinking they'd change.

Thank you for posting actual combine info and not just the same regurgitated takes you saw from highlight videos and others talking about the prospects and then claim you've watched them "extensively"

Yea it's literally his opinion, he doesn't have any new information.
