The Stanley Cup playoffs are quickly coming to an end, and at the latest, a champion will be crowned one week from today.

Once the playoffs are over, hockey fans will be focused and fixated on the NHL draft and expansion draft, both of which occur towards the end of June.

This past weekend, the entry draft's top prospects took part in the NHL combine, and one prospect's results really had the hockey world talking.

There's been a lot of hype surrounding 18-year-old Casey Mittelstadt who played for the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL last season.

In fact, on March 21st, Craig Button ranked Mittelstadt sixth on his prospect list.

While the combine results aren't fantastic, Mittelstadt isn't worried about them, as he explained to Michael Russo:

Mittelstadt's point is more than valid, and at the end of the day, he knows he needs to get stronger, but he also understands that it's not all about strength, it's also about skill, and he has ton of that.
