Some of the top prospects open up on the weird questions they faced from NHL teams during the 2024 combine in Buffalo.

It's seems to have become a tradition for teams to ask awkward questions during their interviews, as they try to get to know their players better.

However, once again a couple of prospects revealed some of the weird questions they faced during their interview, and by no surprise they were they were awkward.

Zanye Parekh who's a projected to be a first round prospect said that a team question him about his Snapchat score and Uber rating:

"Prospects won't say who, but a team has asked what a prospect's Snapchat score was and what their Uber rating was."

The Montreal Canadiens asked Cole Hutson what animal he would identify as:

"I picked a narwhalbecause they're rare and one of a kind like me"

The Colorado Avalanche played board games with prospects:

The Colorado Avalanche had a unique approach by making prospects play board games in their interviews

Confirmed by both Leon Muggli and Jack Berglund"

The Nashville Predators asked prospects what role they would take if they were ever drafted in the war:

"Combine question: If you were drafted into the war, would you be a sniper, pilot, or medic? I'll let you guess the team. Will share later."

Definitely a weird and awkward interview process, but hopefully it allows the young prospects to truly open up about themselves.

Are you a fan of NHL teams taking this type of approach during interviews at the combine?
