It certainly can help a draft ranking but that is because there will always be dumb teams who are involved in the draft.
The NHL combine isn't that old but looking at combine "freaks" from the NHL and NFL most guys who did shoot up in what appeared to be in large part because of the workouts have been mainly busts.
Sure it is great to have strength in the workout room but that is useless as all hell if the performance on the ice isn't there.
