Blue Heaven Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Maybe this is why the Rangers passed up on Middlestadt and picked Lias Andersson instead Former USHL Green Bay Gamblers center Casey Mittelstadt already possesses NHL size, but hasn’t exactly discovered his strength yet. The prospect reportedly struggled to complete one bench press and could not complete a single pull-up. https://www.bardown.com/nhl-prospect-fails-to-complete-single-pull-up-at-nhl-combine-1.769503 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyb Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 That fucking picture. Hahaha. I feel like the Devils are gonna pick Kakko, we?re gonna pick someone who all scouts have at 8-10th, and let Hughes fall to Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Im no expert, but I feel the combine is much more important in the NBA. Never really heard anyone drop or rise much because of it in the NHL. Atleast not in the top 10. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk I don't think it even matters in the NBA. But I think people forget how young some of these kids are. When guys go to the NFL combine, for instance, they've been in heavy lifting programs for 3-4 years at least. Someone like Hughes, who is still only 17, shouldn't be expected to be lifting much. Anything beyond functional strength for someone that young is dangerous. Combine measurables are more telling when guys are 21-23, not 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew a Penalty Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 The combine is really just an opportunity for the guys to schmooze and do interviews. Most of the tests have no real effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I'm really not understanding the knock on Hughes purely on size He's the same height and close in weight to Patrick Kane. Size hasn't impacted Johnny Gaudreau. Crosby is listed at 5'11. Obviously sid is heavier but Hughes is only 17 and is still growing. I really do not think his size will be an issue and is not going to be a thing the Devils consider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
