Blue Jackets accused of asking “weirdest question” at NHL Scouting Combine.

An NHL prospect shares the details of a truly bizarre question that he was asked at the 2023 Scouting Combine.

Every year one of the highlights of the National Hockey League's Scouting Combines are the reports from the players who participate in the event regarding the questions that they were asked. The questions are always meant to test the players and they range from the insightful to the truly bizarre seemingly each and every year.

This year it appears will be no exception with one report already coming out about a truly bizarre question that is believed to have come courtesy of the Columbus Blue Jackets. According to a report from Taylor Haase of DK Pittsburgh Sports, one unnamed prospect detailed how he was asked about his own funeral and that he believes that question came from the Blue Jackets.

Being asked what you would like to hear at your own funeral is bizarre enough, but the question seems even stranger, perhaps even dark, given the Blue Jackets' recent history. We are less than two years removed from the tragic and untimely passing of goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks, who was of course under the umbrella of the Blue Jackets at the time of his death.

I can certainly see why a player would find such a question, especially coming from the Blue Jackets of all teams, disturbing and it could very well go down as the most bizarre question of this year's NHL Scouting Combine.
