2014 Draft Discussion - Now an 8 hour window

[KapG]

that's really just embarrassing more than anything.

it'll probably motivate him to start training more seriously. the ability to do a pullup doesn't mean shit to hockey but in terms of general fitness/athletic ability - he really should be able to do ONE.

Yah thats pretty bad...

Lmao

[The BBKL Insider]

Hes a twig. Think about how good thr kid is now and think about how good he's going to be when he gains real strength.

[LeanMachine]

means nothing.

Actually probably a good sign. He is built low heavy. good core and leg strength.

[Lee]

If we had of used my suggested date, we'd be drafting by now.

[KapG]

lol, that has got to be photoshopped.

also lol @ you thinking it means nothing. are you serious???

do you know how weak you have to be in your upper body to not be able to do ONE pullup? lower body strength and core are more important in hockey but you'd have to be naive to think upper body strength means nothing.

[LeanMachine]

nope.

been playing hockey since I was eight yrs old up to Midget A. pull up means zero. Just something interesting for the media to hype.

[KapG]

Sorry, if you cant do one pullup as at his age ur pathetic.

Im also not saying upper body strength is be all end all, but yah, your an idiot if you think it does not matter one single bit. This is the NHL, professional hockey, not midget A where u can get away with being a weak bitch.

Forearms are worked during pullups, u trying to tell me those are useless in hockey?

Come on now..

[LeanMachine]

I don't know your actual playing career but it sounds like you have never played competitve hockey.

just look at bennetts stat line. there is no column for pull ups. he'll be fine.

[KapG]

I played no higher than single A growing up because my parents had careers and couldnt drive me all over the place every other day.

You can think what you want but imo its a joke if you cant do a single pullup at that age.

Core and legs > all but pullups will work ur forearms which is only going to strengthen ur shot imo. Also like anton mentioned its a glimpse into his general fitness level. Kid will need to hit the gym and train a lot harder if he is gonna wanna do anything serious in the nhl.

[LeanMachine]

nah 18 yr old kid. means zero. he's a regular 18 yr old unlike the cavemen ekblad and draisaitl. parent put steroids in thier cereal.

He'll be just fine and beef up at a normal pace

[KapG]

Lol steroids in their cereal

[The BBKL Insider]

Rumor is he picks pussy over the gym. Sounds like a guy id get a long with.

[Arian The Insider]

It's pretty sad.. I was able to do at least 1 pull up at 17 and I wasn't strong at all or a pro sports prospect lol.

[Arian The Insider]

It is a harder exercise than people think it is though..

[dave1959]

I'm 54 and been sitting at a desk for 36 years and I'm pretty sure I could do at least 1.....

[Arian The Insider]

Ya but you have old man strength. That shit is like being half gorilla

[Nick]

I would need to see it on video to believe he actualy tried and couldn't do a single one.


Not that I think it means jack-sh#t

[LeanMachine]

I'm 54 and been sitting at a desk for 36 years and I'm pretty sure I could do at least 1.....

hahaha ya right dave

[Shoalzie]

So pumped to get started tomorrow!

FYI, Fantrax does have the draft prospects in their database (at least the top guys from what I see). I'm going to assume we can just add our picks to the roster as we go?
