Not to get too far off topic, but I watched a draft special where it followed the St. Louis Blues during the 07' draft and they actually did take the Combine stuff pretty seriously. So you do make a good point. Maybe it's because the NHL Combine stuff is not really talked about openly and the NFL makes a HUGE deal about the results of the combine.
