Dallas and philly are in unusual positions because of how far they leaped up the draft. They might as well bring up whomever they draft because burning a year of the ELC doesn't really matter when they're in the middle of their windows.

I can't think of a less important stat than reps on a bench press for a hockey player.

don't they do hand strength too?

bench press is useless if you never take a slap shot, never push people around, etc, but you also don't want a roster full of that. maybe squats would be a better "raw power to push people out of the way" test.

also interesting that they adjust the weight based on your height/weight/whatever. the replies to that tweet say around 100 lbs, and the nfl standard bench press is 225

the coyotes desperately need right shooting forwards and not so much defensive centermen with dvorak being good, richardson coming back, and hanzal able to re-sign. their right shot forward depth is vrbata/doan/pulkkinen/jooris and that's it
