My target for the 48th overall pick, Martin Marincin, made headlines at the NHL Scouting Combine by outlasting all others in the VO2 Max Test.
VO2 Max Test -- In all, six players lasted more than 14 minutes on the most grueling of the endurance tests, led by Slovakian U-20 team defenseman Martin Marcincin, who lasted 14:15. Halifax Mooseheads goaltender Mathieu Corbeil-Theriault went 14:03, and four players went exactly 14 minutes -- South Shore forward Charlie Coyle, AIK defenseman Patrik Nemeth, Moose Jaw Warriors defenseman Dylan McIlrath and Medicine Hat Tigers right wing Emerson Etem.
Last year's top two in the VO2 Max test were the Ducks' 4th round draft pick Sami Vatanen and Oliver Ekman-Larsson, drafted 6th overall by the Coyotes.
The VO2 Max Test, from wiki:
is the maximum capacity of an individual's body to transport and utilize oxygen during incremental exercise, which reflects the physical fitness of the individual. The name is derived from V - volume per time, O2 - oxygen, max - maximum.
Need a big, physical Slovakian defenseman that has the stamina to handle enormous ice time? Martin Marincin, #48!
