Lots of big bodies, looks solid. Hopefully some kids shine and can be nabbed in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

They also changed the invite process this year.
From media release:
Quote:
Unlike previous seasons, the player invitation process was revised to enable NHL clubs an opportunity to participate.
"It's a change from past practice of invites being solely based on Central Scouting's final rankings," Marr said. "Research has shown over the last decade that an average of 78 invites to the Combine were selected in the top 100 at the NHL Draft.
"For the 2014 Combine, a two-stage process was adopted. In the initial stage, the top 75 players on Central Scouting's Players to Watch List were invited [at an earlier date] and the final stage involved the NHL clubs voting in the remaining 45 players. The number of invites increased this year."

Anyone know when individual team tryouts are? I'm talking about the ones Momahan/Poirer/Klimchuk/Petan attended last year with the Flames.

I am sure I read somewhere that teams are no longer allowed to do that, which is why they revamped the invitation process

Since I'm not a combine expert, if I understand correctly is this combine put on by the league? I don't imagine it is team specific....is it? Is this also where the individual team interviews are done?

This is the league wide one yes. But they have expanded it and given teams more time to meet with players because teams are no longer allowed to have 1 on 1 testing with the prospects anymore.
