00:02 - This new skills format, Scott,
00:05 it used to kind of be, well, this guy's fast,
00:07 nobody knows who he is, and this guy,
00:09 and let's just throw together some skills,
00:11 and let's shoot some pucks at some, you know,
00:13 at some surfboards on the beach.
00:14 They, I'll give credit to the NHL,
00:16 they try to come up with things that are fun.
00:19 It never works, all right?
00:21 They finally have come up with something.
00:22 You got 12 of the best guys in the league, bro,
00:24 playing for a million dollars, all right?
00:26 These guys don't make $45 million a year, all right?
00:29 They're making 7 million, 10 million.
00:30 1 million is a lot of money to them, all right?
00:32 It's a real deal.
00:33 So you've got the skills competition,
00:35 $1 million to the winner tonight.
00:38 And so as far as the overall
00:40 to win the skills competition is concerned,
00:44 you got Connor McDavid's,
00:45 they're in a five to one range right now.
00:46 Kale McCar's in a seven to one range.
00:49 Pasternak is eight to one.
00:51 I'm looking here, man, Nate McKinnon to me
00:53 is the best player in the National Hockey League.
00:55 I'm getting him at plus 850,
00:57 and don't sleep on my guy, Scott, Elias Pettersson,
01:00 the jersey that I have behind me.
01:01 This guy's an amazing player.
01:03 He won the hardest shot last year, all right?
01:06 So we know he's got a hard shot.
01:07 He won the hardest shot drill last year.
01:09 At plus 300, he's gonna win again this year.
01:11 But he won the hardest shot drill.
01:13 He's accurate as crazy.
01:15 Like this guy can blindfold it.
01:17 He can tell you, oh, top corner, low, low shot,
01:19 boom, boom, boom.
01:20 He can put it anywhere.
01:22 So if you add up all of his skills,
01:24 I think Pettersson's gonna be in the mix.
01:25 So my two picks to win overall, guys,
01:27 would be Nate McKinnon at plus 850,
01:29 and Pettersson at plus 900.
01:32 But the individual drills here,
01:35 let's just blast through them here.
01:36 Fastest skater, fastest skater.
01:39 I'm gonna go with Matthew Barzell,
01:41 the New York Islanders at plus 225.
01:44 He can give Conor McDavid all he can handle.
01:46 Conor McDavid's not even the fastest guy
01:48 in the Edmonton Oilers, all right?
01:49 McDavid's amazing and stuff,
01:50 but he's not even, the Oilers had a speed contest
01:53 the other day.
01:54 He didn't win, McCloud won, all right?
01:56 So give me Barzell at plus 225 here to win fastest skater.
02:01 Hardest shot, I mentioned Pettersson won last year at plus 300.
02:05 I think he can win again at plus 175,
02:09 but keep your eye on his teammate, guys,
02:10 JT Miller of the Vancouver Canucks.
02:14 This guy could put a puck through a bank vault, man.
02:16 All right, like he's freaking teasing up Scott.
