This week is the NHL Scouting Combine where more than 100 of the best young hockey players in the world will show off their skills in things that generally have nothing to do with hockey. This week’s activities aren’t even on ice, so take everything from it with a grain of salt. One thing that is extremely important to NHL franchises is the interview portion of the combine.
The New Jersey Devils spent some time with projected number one pick Jack Hughes earlier this week. One would assume they would spend just as much time with Finland’s Kaapo Kakko, but he’s not there.
