Malhotra, Reid Get Their NHL Combine Moment

The Combine is where prospects stop being names on a board and start getting grilled like they are applying for a job that comes with a city’s patience. Malhotra and Reid are in that spotlight now, with every answer and every test feeding the same front-office obsession: who can handle the league when the pressure stops being theoretical. The interview rooms matter as much as the ice here, because teams are trying to separate talent from the players who can survive the business end of the NHL.
