NHL Combine puts focus on league’s future stars

Buffalo is getting both Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel.

For one week, anyway.

The NHL Scouting Combine starts Monday, and the league’s future stars will do interviews in First Niagara Center and test their fitness levels in HarborCenter. The top two prospects, McDavid and Eichel, are scheduled to be among the 120 teenagers showing teams why they should be selected in June’s draft.

Fans may glimpse the prospects wandering through Canalside or grabbing dinner somewhere, but that will be the extent of the interaction.

The events, which are run by the league, are closed to the public.
