What would you do to hear your name called at the NHL Draft?

Kill for a bottle of water? Drain a room-length jumper? Complain about the lack of cheese?

The NHL Combine is a strange place.

@seanshapiro and I go behind the scenes on the interviews, testing, and the growing push to bring back the centralized draft.

“He’s got a little Jack Hughes in him.”

One final scout poll before draft day.

10 lists.
A whole lot of disagreement.

The final consensus board is live and unlocked @eliteprospects

The CHL and NCAA used to be rivals. In some ways, maybe they still are. But as dust settles on a new world, the CHL and college hockey are growing stronger in their new symbiotic relationship.

Jussi Ahokas has dreamt of coaching in the NHL. He's also a Finn that never played in the NHL, effectively precluding him from that.

But now on the eve of a Memorial Cup final, the Kitchener Rangers coach is making a statement

[Sean Shapiro @seanshapiro]

Rangers GM Mike McKenzie ran to the bathroom with 3 minutes left. That's when he heard the Rangers goal song and knew, for sure, his team was about to win.

On Kitchener's final exclamation point after a dominant Memorial Cup in Kelowna.
